[Verse 1]
The neon lights are shinin' on me again
I walk the lonely streets in search of a friend
I need a lady to help me to get through the night
Through the night
If I could find her then everything would be alright

[Verse 2]
The sleepy city is dreamin' the night time away
Out on the street, I watch tomorrow becomin' today
I see a man, he's got take away women for sale
Yes, for sale
Guess that's the answer, 'cause take away women don't fail

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, dirty women, they don't mess around
Oh, dirty women, they don't mess around
You've got me comin', you've got me goin' around
Oh, dirty women, they don't mess around

[Outro]
Walkin' the streets I wonder will it ever happen (dirty women)
Gotta be good 'cause then everything will be okay (dirty women)
If I could score tonight then I will end up happy (dirty women)
A woman for sale is gonna help me save my day (dirty women)
(Dirty women, dirty women, dirty women, dirty women...)

Black Sabbath

From their start as a heavy blues-rock band called Earth in 1968, Black Sabbath survived over four decades with a total of 19 studio albums and numerous hits, but only “Paranoid” reached the top 10 UK Singles Chart, putting together one of the greatest rock bands of all time and setting the standards for music in their genre.

Virtually every single heavy metal band has cited the early Black Sabbath albums as a major musical influence and Black Sabbath have at least played some part in laying the foundations for most of heavy metal’s sub-genres, including thrash metal (“Symptom of the Universe” and “Into the Void”), doom metal (“Black Sabbath”) and stoner metal (“Sweet Leaf”). The band also explored many rock sub-genres, including hard rock (“Paranoid”), blues rock (“N.I.B.”), psychedelic rock (“Planet Caravan”) and, of course, the traditional heavy metal, being one of the precursors of this genre.

They were ranked by MTV as the “Greatest Metal Band” of all time and placed second in VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock” list. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them number 85 in their “100 Greatest Artists of All Time.” They have sold over 70 million records worldwide. Black Sabbath were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. They have also won two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance.
