We Do The Dirty Work 1911 - 'The Little Millionaire'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 21 Oct 2004

[He:] I'm a bold bad man with a bold bad plan;
[She:] I am the bad man's pal.
[He:] I'm a bold bad crook,
with a bold bad look.
[She:] I am the bad man's gal.
[He:] All of the trouble in the play we cause
[She:] We are the cause of the hero's applause;
[Both:] A bold bad pair,
and we don't care
for we're on the hero's trail.
We do the dirty work,
real George and Gertie work,
'hind tree or shrubbery,
there we love to work;
ten twenty thirty work,
bad all through,
we create the hero
by the dirty work we do.

[He:] I'm the bad man's King,
I'm a mean old thing,
[She:] I am a dangerous miss,
[He:] And we wish you would really hate us good.
[She:] We love to hear you hiss.
[He:] Crooks in a melodrama are O.K.
[She:] It's hard to be bad in a musical play;
[Both:] We do our best,
so you'll detest
the sight of the bold bad pair.
We do the dirty work,
real George and Gertie work,
'hind tree or shrubbery,
there we love to work;
ten twenty thirty work,
bad all through,
we create the hero
by the dirty work we do.
