We care a lot
We care a lot

We care a lot
About disasters, fires, floods, and killer bees
About the NASA shuttle falling in the sea (We care a lot)
About starvation and the food that Live Aid bought (We care a lot)
About disease, baby, Rock Hudson, rock, yeah
Whoo!

Whoa-whoa, oh, oh
Oh, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it
Oh, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it (We care a lot)
We care a lot

We care a lot
About the gamblers and the pushers and the geeks (We care a lot)
About the smack and crack and whack that hits the street (We care a lot)
About the welfare of all you boys and girls (We care a lot)
About you people ’cause we’re out to save the world, yeah
Whoo!
Oh, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it (Whoa-whoa, oh, oh)
Oh, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it (Said, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it)
Oh, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it

Oh, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it (Whoa-whoa, oh, oh)
Oh, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it
Oh, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it
Said, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it

We care a lot
About the army, navy, air force, and marines (We care a lot)
About the NY, SF, and LAPD (We care a lot)
About you people (We care a lot)
About your guns (We care a lot)
About the wars we’re fighting, gee, that looks like fun (We care a lot)
About the Garbage Pail Kids, they never lie (We care a lot)
About Transformers ’cause there’s more than meets the eye (We care a lot)
About the little things, the bigger things we top (We care a lot)
About you people, yeah, you bet we care a lot, yeah
Whoo, hoo!

Whoa-whoa, oh, oh
Said, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it
It’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it (Whoa-whoa, oh, oh)
Said, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it
Oh, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it
Said, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it

Oh, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it (Whoa-whoa, oh, oh)
Oh, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it
Said, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it
Said, it’s a dirty song but someone’s gotta sing it now
