It's a Dirty Job Koko Taylor (with Lonnie Brooks)
 Koko Taylor!
 My good friend
 I'm glad to see you
 'Cause I'm broke again
 Lonnie Brooks
 I know what's on your mind
 But not today, baby
 Maybe some other time
 I went out with Mr. Universe
 In a chauffeured Rolls-Royce
 I drew the short straw
 I didn't have no choice
 Billy Dee Williams calls me
 Tell him I'm not at home
 Easy come, easy go
 Just want to be left alone
 All these men keep chasin' me
 When you get right down to it
 It's a dirty job, baby
 But somebody got to do it
 My empty wallet
 Was makin' me kinda nervous
 So I went and took a job
 With an escort service
 Takin' out rich old ladies
 Is really all right
 But I'm on the menu
 Again tonight
 I bit it off
 I guess I'll have to chew it
 Koko: 'Cause it's a dirty job, baby
 Both: Somebody's got to do it
 This pretty face of mine
 Has always been a curse
 But lately, baby
 Things get worse and worse
 Women call me up
 Ask, "Let's go out and dance"
 But all they wanna do is get
 In my pants
 One night off
 I think I'll spend alone
 Just be cool
 And disconnect the phone
 Lay back in my easy chair
 Turn on the TV
 When a man came on
 Said, "You won the lottery"
 I was trying to be cool
 But I guess I blew it
 'Cause it's a dirty job, baby
 Somebody's got to do it
 It's a dirty job
 It's a dirty job
 It's a dirty job
 I wanna do it, Koko
 Somebody got to do it
 Would you let me do it
 Come on, Lonnie Brooks
 Oh yeah!
 Just get to it
 It's a dirty job
 It's a dirty job
 I wanna to it
 It's a dirty job
 Let me do it
 Hey, hey, hey It's a dirty job
 Oh! Koko Taylor -- Come on, let me do it!
 Lonnie Brooks!
 Koko Taylor! Lonnie Brooks!
 Koko Taylor!
 Lonnie Brooks!
 Koko Taylor!
