Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
(Angus Young - Malcolm Young - Bon Scott)
well if you're having trouble with the high school head
he's giving you the blues
you want to graduate but not in his bed
here's what you gotta do
pick up the phone, I’m always home
call me anytime,
just ring, 362436 oh
I lead a life of crime
you're got trouble in your life of love
you got a broken heart
he's double dealing with your best friend
that's where the teardrops start
pick up the phone, I’m here alone
or make a social call
come right in forget about him
we'll have ourselves a ball
if you got a lady and you want her gone
but you ain't got the guts
she keeps nagging at you night and day
enough to drive you nuts
pick up the phone
leave her alone
it's time you made a stand
for a fee
I’m happy to be
your back door man
dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap, dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap
dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap, dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap
concrete shoes, cyanide, T.N.T.
done dirt cheap
neck ties, contracts, high voltage
done dirt cheap
dirty deeds, done dirt cheap, dirty deeds, done dirt cheap
dirty deeds do anything you want me to
done dirt cheap
dirty deeds
dirty deeds done dirt cheap
First verse talking to a girl who is having sex with her principal
Second verse talking to a girl whose guy is cheating on her
Third verse talking to a guy whose girl is a bitch
Sex is Bon's solution to all of these. As with every AC/DC song it is about sex and it is full of double entendres to make it sound like it might not be about sex. The "back door man" thing that everyone keeps getting hung up on is he's offering to take the girl off the guy's hands by having sex with her. He will be the one exiting the back door (actual door to the house) when the other guy is entering the front door. This is also a double entendre for anal sex. Bon knew this and put it like that for a reason. The phone number is also supposed to be a double entendre. It is the standard measurements of the "perfect woman".
