Bear with me, this is from memory

DIRTY LAUNRDY
Words and music by Don Henley

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 could've been an actor
But I would 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 when they're down,

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

Got the bubble-headed bleach blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
We love dirty laundry

Can they do the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know the boys in the newsroom
Got a running bet,
Get the widow on the set!
Give us dirty laundry!

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

Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down,
Kick 'em when they're sick,
Kick 'em all around.

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers
In everybody's pies
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry.

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

Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down,
Kick 'em when they're sick,
Kick 'em all around.

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

You don't really want 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
And when it's said and done
We haven't told you a thing
We all know that craft is king
We love dirty laundry.
