  • Well brunettes are fine man
    And blondes are fun
    But when it comes to getting the dirty job done

    I'll take a red headed woman
    A red headed woman
    It takes a red headed woman
    To get a dirty job done

    Well listen up stud
    Your life's been wasted
    'Til you've got down on your knees and tasted

    A red headed woman
    A red headed woman
    It takes a red headed woman
    To get a dirty job done

    Tight skirt, strawberry hair
    Tell me what you've got baby, waiting under there
    Big green eyes that look like, son
    They can see every cheap thing that you ever done

    Well I don't care how many girls you've dated, man
    But you ain't lived 'til you've had your tires rotated

    By a red headed woman
    A red headed woman
    It takes a red headed woman
    To get a dirty job done Writer/s: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
