But somebody's got to do it 

Better get to it 

Somebody's gotta do it 

Whatever it takes, whatever it takes 

Any work at all 

Is better than none 

Better buckle down to it 

Gotta get the job done 

Gotta earn my pay... I gotta earn my pay 

I can't wait around on the lottery 

And there ain't no millionaires 

Lookin' for me 



And somebody's gotta do it, do it 

Somebody's gotta do it, do it 

Somebody's gotta do it, do it 

Somebody 



I can think of better things 

I'd rather do 

I might get lucky 

And I'm hopin' to 

But until I do 

I gotta compromise 

The job ain't much 

But at least it's mine 

It beats standin' 

In the unemployment line 

Put pride aside 

And I'll improvise 



Even if I do get a better job 

Somebody else 

Has gotta fill my spot 



Somebody's gotta do it, do it 

Somebody's gotta do it, do it 

Somebody's gotta do it, do it 

Somebody 

Somebody 

Somebody's gotta do it, do it 

Somebody's gotta do it, do it 

It's a dirty job 

It's a lowdown dirty job 

Somebody 



Even if the rules are too hard to follow 

Even when pride is too hard to swallow 

It's another day so it's another dollar 

That's what it's all about, Oh 



It's a dirty job 

But somebody's got to do it 

Better get to it 

Somebody's gotta do it 

Whatever it takes 

Gotta keep the faith 

Any work at all 

Is better than none 

Better buckle down to it 

Gotta get the job done 

Gotta earn my way 

And it's a workin' day 



The job ain't much 

But at least it's mine 

It beats standin' 

In the unemployment line 



Somebody's gotta do it, do it 

Somebody's gotta do it, do it 

Somebody's gotta do it, do it 

Somebody 

Somebody 

It's a dirty job 

Somebody's gotta do this lowdown dirty job 

Somebody 

It's a dirty job, it's a dirty job 

It's a lowdown dirty job 

Somebody 

Somebody 

Somebody
