(Dolly Parton)

It's a dirty job 
But somebody's got to do it 
Better get to it 
Somebody's gotta do it 
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes 
Any work at all 
Is better than none 
Better buckle down to it 
Gotta get the job done 
Gotta earn my pay... I gotta earn my pay 

I can't wait around on the lottery 
And there ain't no millionaires 
Lookin' for me 

And somebody's gotta do it, do it 
Somebody's gotta do it, do it 
Somebody's gotta do it, do it 
Somebody 

I can think of better things 
I'd rather do 
I might get lucky 
And I'm hopin' to 
But until I do 
I gotta compromise 
The job ain't much 
But at least it's mine 
It beats standin' 
In the unemployment line 
Put pride aside 
And I'll improvise 

Even if I do get a better job 
Somebody else 
Has gotta fill my spot 

Somebody's gotta do it, do it 
Somebody's gotta do it, do it 
Somebody's gotta do it, do it 
Somebody 
Somebody 
Somebody's gotta do it, do it 
Somebody's gotta do it, do it 
It's a dirty job 
It's a low-down dirty job 
Somebody 

Even if the rules are too hard to follow 
Even when pride is too hard to swallow 
It's another day so it's another dollar 
That's what it's all about, Oh 

It's a dirty job 
But somebody's got to do it 
Better get to it 
Somebody's gotta do it 
Whatever it takes 
Gotta keep the faith 
Any work at all 
Is better than none 
Better buckle down to it 
Gotta get the job done 
Gotta earn my way 
And it's a workin' day 

The job ain't much 
But at least it's mine 
It beats standin' 
In the unemployment line 

Somebody's gotta do it, do it 
Somebody's gotta do it, do it 
Somebody's gotta do it, do it 
Somebody 
Somebody 
It's a dirty job 
Somebody's gotta do this low-down dirty job 
Somebody 
It's a dirty job, it's a dirty job 
It's a low-down dirty job 
Somebody 
Somebody 
Somebody
