Dirt
[COMPANY, spoken]
Feel the heat on the street
Can ya feel it?
Gonna-gonna be...
Gonna-gonna be good
Feel it comin’?
Yes? Yeah?! Good?! Uh-huh!

(singing)

Hot

(spoken)

Hot, hot!

(singing)

Give me what I’m hungry for
The one thing that’s never a bore

Dirt
It’s the reason I read
Dirt
It’s an animal need
I don’t pick up the paper
For the sports or the news
Those ain’t the sport that I choose
Dirt
With my bacon and eggs
They go together like a skirt
And a nice pair of legs
Got the ink on my fingers
Got the smudge and the smear
Oh my, what dirt we got here

Dallas is a doper
Dallas is a red
Susie’s gonna leave him flat
Dallas used to grope her
They were gonna wed
Look out, look out, splat!

Oh
Kinda makes you feel bad
But don’t the public have a right to know
Like our forefathers had

(spoken)

It’s in the constitution!

(singing)
Call a commie a commie
Give his reefer a light
Dallas is dirt in black and white

Dirt
You’re the hunger to feed
Got a hunger and a thirst
Gimme-gimme some dirt
Take me down in the dirt
It’s an animal need

(spoken)

Give it to me in the first amendment

(singing)

Gimme something that can get me through
Something dirty in the whole “who’s who”
And keep this in mind as you do
It don’t have to be true
Don’t have to be true
Don’t have to be true

Yeah!
