Dirty Work Lyrics

Get on your knees and let the games begin
Bow to your queen and I will crown your head
'Cause I can make you every inch a king
Before I do
Tell me what's in it for me
I need someone, young willing and able
You need someone, old enough to know better
I want you to
Do my dirty work, do my dirty work, Oh
Do my dirty work, Do my Dirty work
Yeah, yeah, c'mon
Do my dirty work, do my dirty work
Let me be your labor of love
My royal garden needs a hired man
Plant your seed, darlin'
My roses are in your hands
(Repeat Chorus)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Sounds like it's the other way around though. Like she has the upper hand because she's older and is telling him she'll reward him if he gets on his knees and does her "dirty work" first.

-- The "royal garden" lyric made me laugh out loud. XD
