I Don’t Do Dirty Work Sucka!
Angie Reed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ha!

Just ask, just ask. Yeah!
I′ll do whatever task and oh,
I'll work fast
I′m always the last to leave
Can you believe?
This job is a jab in the ass
So Mr. Boss, do if you will
Wave that dollar bill as if it were the last
But remember
Hey, sucka! I don't do dirty work for you
Oh I don't care who.
You know what I mean?
You wanna suck my fingers clean?

Suck my finger!
Don′t linger!
It′s a must, so just do it don't fuss!
We gotta good thing goin′...
Yeah, it's showin′!
You wanna play with power?
Then pay by the hour!

But I don't do dirty work for you
Oh I don′t care who.
You know what I mean?
You wanna lick my fingers clean?

I don't do dirty
I don't dirty work
I don′t do dirty work, sucka!
I don′t do dirty
I don't do dirty
I don′t do dirty work for you

I brought my badmington and my ball
I thought I'd play play some badmington in the hall
So I don′t bounce off the wall!
Say, why don't you fetch my birdy
Atta boy I′m really sorry about the coffee stain on this important document
I think I'd leave that file over there to ferment!

Hey, sucka! I don't do dirty work for you
Oh I don′t care who.

I don′t do dirty
I don't dirty work
I don′t do dirty work, sucka!
I don't do dirty




I don′t do dirty
I don't do dirty work for you
