Lyrics

Dirty Old Man

[Chorus]

I'm a dirty old man

I do what I can

Trying to make a living

I'm a dirty old man

[Verse 1]

I like to get hammered

On Friday night

Sometimes I can't wait

So Monday's alright

It's a battle with the bottle

I'll win it alright

But I lost another round

In the bar last night

[Chorus]

I'm a dirty old man

I do what I can

Trying to make a living

I'm a dirty old man

[Verse 2]

Yeah, I'm going to get fired

For drinking on the job

Got caught with the boss' wife

In the parking lot

I'm going to get killed

For doing this again

But I just can't help it

It's under my skin

[Chorus]

I'm a dirty old man

I do what I can

I'm going to get hammered

And do it again

[Chorus]

I'm a dirty old man

I do what I can

I'm trying to make a living

I'm a dirty old man

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Got a bag of frozen peas

I use on my knees

I injured from begging

And trying to please

If you believe that

I'm losing my fat

Got a workout program

And a new rubber mat

[Chorus]

I'm a dirty old man

I do what I can

I'm trying to make a living

I'm a dirty old man

I'm a dirty old man

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

It's a battle with the bottle

I'll win it alright

But I lost another round

In the bar last night

I'm a dirty old man
