Do the Dirt - The Meters

Listen people, come on, listen good

We’re gonna dance, gonna do you some good

You’ve got to pull off your shoes

You’ve got to pull off your shirt

Relax yourself

Getting ready to do the dirt

Doing the dirt

(Dirt)

You’ve got to watch me work

(Work)

You’ve got to stretch your legs as far as you can

Stretch your legs now, so your knees won’t bend

You’ve got to bend your hips, bend it good

Shuffle your arms, like I know would

Doing the dirt, doing the dirty, dirty

Dirty, dirty, dirty now, get nasty

You’ve got to step some to the left

You’ve got to step some to the right

Feels so good now, you can do it all night

Relax yourself

Getting ready to do the dirt

Doing the dirt

(Dirt)

You’ve got to watch me work

(Work)

Relax yourself

Getting ready to do the dirt

Doing the dirt

(Dirt)

You’ve got to watch me work

(Work)

Relax yourself

Getting ready to do the dirt

Doing the dirt

(Dirt)

You’ve got to watch me work

(Work)

Relax yourself

Getting ready to do the dirt

Doing the dirt

(Dirt)

You’ve got to watch me work

(Work)

I know you can do it now

You’ve got to bend your hips, bend it good

Shuffle your arms, like I know would
