Dirty Jobs - Theme Song (as seen in 100th Special episode)

Mike Rowe (from Dirty Jobs) wrote and performed this theme song for the "Dirty Jobs" show on the 100th Special episode.

Lyrics (as per request):

Now everyone who's got a job has got his dues to pay,
working for a paycheck and gettin' through the day,
but if you're bored or otherwise inclined to be a slob,
grab some boots, and lose that suit and get a dirty job.

Fight a fire, or tread a tire, or ride a garbage truck.
Save a seal, or mix a meal, or manage miles of muck.
Misbehave, inside a cave, with forty million bats.
Find some friendly roaches in a sewer filled with rats.

Dirty jobs, they're everywhere, just take a look around.
Down the street, or up the stairs, or even underground.

You don't need to borrow, beg and you don't need to rob,
All you've got to do is get yourself a dirty job.
All you've got to do is get yourself a dirty job.

Smelly loads and foul commodes, all need to be addressed.
Chimney sweeps and chicks that beep can make an awful mess.
Wrangle herds of cranky birds, that bite and kick and stomp.
Mine for gold, or dig a hole, or navigate a swamp.

Dig for clams, or handle ham, or work with stinging bees.
Clean a dump, or lift a pump, or labor out at sea.
Run a rig or chase a pig, find vomit from an owl.
Change your course and shoe a horse, or reach inside a cow.

Dirty jobs, they're everywhere, just take a look around.
Down the street, or up the stairs, or even underground.

You don't need to borrow, beg and you don't need to rob,
All you've got to do is get yourself a dirty job.
All you've got to do is get yourself a dirty job.

Cleaning skulls, collecting balls, or working down a drain.
Killing bugs, or picking spuds, or separatin' grain.
Sweat and toil, or drill for oil, or tear apart a float.
Pull a teat, or chip concrete, or shave an ornery goat.

Drive a nail, replace a rail, or disembowel a fish.
Tackle grime, or grow some slime inside a petri dish.
Tar a roof, or clean a hoof, or handle poison toads.
Brew some beer, or drag a deer across a busy road.

Dirty jobs, they're everywhere, just take a look around.
Down the street, or up the stairs, or even underground.

You don't need to borrow, beg and you don't need to rob,
All you've got to do is get yourself a dirty job.
All you've got to do is get yourself a dirty job.

Now dirty jobs don't guarantee no great big pile of loot,
there ain't no perks or fancy cars or golden parachutes.
The pension plan is also-ran, the pay is far from rich,
but dirty jobs will keep you far from office politics!

So... don't be scared or unprepared to tackle something rank,
to pick up gum or have some fun inside a septic tank.
Don't begrudge a little sludge, or working in a pit,
but always ask, to wear your mask, when cleaning pigeon -- gee-whiz!

Dirty jobs, they're everywhere, just take a look around.
Down the street, or up the stairs, or even underground.

You don't need to borrow, beg and you don't need to rob,
All you've got to do is get yourself a dirty job.
All you've got to do is get yourself a dirty job.
All you've got to do is get yourself a dirty job.

@verdemanthe1

Yeah, what a lot of people seem to forget is that although a bunch of jobs may seem unimportant or plain weird most of them are in fact backbone of the failing infrastructure, not just in US of A but UK as well as a lot of the, what we consider, "developed" countries.
