[Verse 1]
I had a maid, she used to come in days
Made the bed and mopped the floor
She didn't like my rowdy ways
She ain't coming back no more
You waste all your precious time
Italian movies, Portuguese wine
Little round bottles all in a row
You're an unclean man in a dirty chateau
[Chorus]
Well, dirty chateau, it's long and it's tall
Stick around, we'll have a ball
You'll get stuck and before you know
You'll be dancing around, you're feeling all right
In my dirty chateau
[Verse 2]
She started her life in the lettuce fields
Up in Salinas where the farm work is done
You go streaking by in your automobiles
You don't even know where your lettuce comes from
The short handled hoe it scarred my hands
Tell me why do they love it so?
It broke mama down and daddy too
Now I work for you in your dirty chateau
[Bridge]
My friends are coming, they'd like to hear
A real sad Mexican song or two
They been drinking and they don't care
Just what you been goin' through
How 'bout a Paloma Sin Nido
Pa Que Me Sirve la Vida
What about Pobre del Pobre
Also Lamento de un Prisionero
She used to call me borracho y perdido
Said I was loco y jodido
Buena para nada
Nunca quiero ver tu cara
[Outro]
Yeah, I know it's bad but it sounded good when she said
(Dirty chateau)
But she's gone (Dirty chateau)
But she's gone (Dirty chateau)
But she's (Dirty chateau) gone
In the world somewhere (Dirty chateau)
Turlock somewhere (Turlock somewhere)
Stockton somewhere (Stockton somewhere)
Salinas somewhere (Salinas somewhere)
Los Angeles somewhere
I just don't know
