"i make my living off the evening news

Just give me something-something i can use

People love it when you lose,

They love dirty laundry



Well, i coulda been an actor, but i wound up here

I just have to look good, i don't have to be clear

Come and whisper in my ear

Give us dirty laundry



Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em all around



We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who

Comes on at five

She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam

In her eye

It's interesting when people die-

Give us dirty laundry



Can we film the operation?

Is the head dead yet?

You know, the boys in the newsroom got a

Running bet

Get the widow on the set!

We need dirty laundry



You don't really need to find out what's going on

You don't really want to know just how far it's gone

Just leave well enough alone

Eat your dirty laundry



Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em when they're down



Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're stiff

Kick 'em all around



Dirty little secrets

Dirty little lies

We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie

We love to cut you down to size

We love dirty laundry



We can do "the innuendo"

We can dance and sing

When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing

We all know that crap is king

Give us dirty laundry!
