Garry Tallent's album version
It's a dirty rotten shame
It's a dirty rotten shame
And there's no one I can name
No one to share the blame
It's a dirty rotten shame
I got to do my best
I just didn't pass the test
And so I wind up in this mess
Forced to confess
It's a dirty rotten shame
But in defense of me the reality
That I did not know
And though I came my love with all my heart
I guess it didn't show
That's a dirty rotten shame
It's a dirty rotten shame
And there's no one I can name
No one to share the blame
It's a dirty rotten shame
I know I did my best
I just couldn't pass the test
And so I wind up in this mess
Forced to confess
It's a dirty rotten shame
Oh yeah we wind up in this mess
Forced to confess
It's a dirty rotten shame
