Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
[Verse 2]
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
[Verse 3]
Well I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
I'll just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
[Verse 4]
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around
[Verse 5]
We got the bubble headed bleach blonde
Comes on at five
She could tell ya about the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry
[Verse 6]
Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
And all them boys at the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set
We need dirty laundry
[Verse 7]
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around
[Verse 8]
Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pies
We'd love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry
[Verse 9]
We could do the innuendo, we can dance and sing
When it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry
[Verse 10]
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around
