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 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

Come on, clean it up, Joe!

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 stiff Kick 'em all around

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 everybodys 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

'Cause we all know that crap is king Give us dirty laundry!

Oh yeah.

Kick 'em when they're up Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up
