Misc Soundtrack
SONG: Dirty Rotten Number
ARTIST: David Yazbek

From the musical, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

You may be master of
Your chosen occupation
With several strings of
                           G7b5/
Polo ponies in your stable 
You must remember all the same
That at the crux of every game
Is knowing when it's time
             Gm7b5
To leave the table.

And it's important to be artful
in your exit 
No turning back, you must accept
the con is done,
            #11
But now and then, you might recall
The moments when you had it all 
You had the charm,
You had the talent
        (no3)
And, my God, you had some fun.

It was a ball, it was a blast
And it's a shame it couldn't last,
But ev'ry chapter has to end,
You must agree.
It was a joy, it was sublime,
A splendid way to earn a dime
                    (no3)    
For a dirty rotten guy like 
me.

When you look back on all your
conquests and deceptions
You see a thousand flawless pearls
set in a strand,
         #11
Laid out from Biarritz to Rome,
Each one as perfect as a poem 
An opus to be proud of though it's
(no3)
written in the sand.

It was a ball, it was a thrill,
You had the grace, you had the skill
To know exactly what to say
And what to do.
You wouldn't trade a single day
Or have it any other way 
                (no3)   
A dirty rotten guy like 
me.

It's almost a religion 
The need to take a pigeon
And to play your part
With elegance and zest

But when it's time to fold the act
And your duffel bag is packed
Take comfort in the fact
That you've been
#11           #5
working with the best.

#11

   #9                 
It was a blast, it was a ball
It was a gas, I loved it all
'Cause I was hanging with the man
And that's a plus.

You've got the verve
You've got the guts 
You've go the nerve 

You've got the nuts!
I guess we're dirty rotten crooks, 

Dirty rotten shnooks 
           #5  
Dirty rotten guys
Oh

             #9             
It was a trip, it was a blast
             #9               
It was a shame it couldn't lsat
'Cause it was almost
Too prodigious to discuss.

                               #5  
So we got screwed for fifty grand 

I think we still deserve a hand 

Dirty
Rotten
