[Key of D]

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.

We got a 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?
The boys in the newsroom got a running bet.
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

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

[Conversion - go to G]

Dirty little secrets,
and 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.

[Back to D]

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.

We can do "The Innuendo",
We can dance and sing,
When it's said and done,
we haven't told you a g*d damn thing.
We all know that Crap is King,
Give us dirty laundry!
