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 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
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
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 up; kick 'em when they're down
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 everybody's 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
We all know that c*** is king; give us dirty laundry
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 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
