 You may be master  of
 Your chosen  occupation
 With several strings  of
 Polo ponies  in your stable
 You must remember  all the same
 That at the crux  of every game
 Is knowing when  it's time
 To leave the table.
 And it's important  to be  artful
 in your exit
 No turning back,  you must accept
the  con is done,
 But now and then,  you might recall
 The moments when  you had it all
 You had the  charm,
 You had the talent
 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
 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,
 Laid out from  Biarritz to Rome,
 Each one as perfect  as a poem
An  opus to be proud of though it's
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
 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
working  with the best.
 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
Dirty  rotten guys
 Oh
 It was a trip,  it was a blast
 It was a shame  it couldn't lsat
 'Cause it was almost
 Too prodigious to discuss.
 So we got screwed  for fifty grand
 I think we still  deserve a hand
 Dirty
 Rotten
Guys
 Like us!

You may be ma[Cm7]ster of
Your [Cm6]chosen occu[Cm7]pation[Cm6]
With several strin[Cm7]gs of
Polo [Cm6]ponies in your stable[D]     [G7b5]          [C#]
You must re[Cm7]member all the [Eb]same
That at the [Abadd9]crux of every game
Is knowing [C#7]when it's time
To leave the [Gm7b5]table.

And it's im[Cm7]portant to [F9]be artful
in your [Cm7]exit  [F9]
No turning bac[Eb]k, you must accept
[Eb/G]the con is done,[Ab13]
But now and [F#maj7#11]then, you might recall
The moments [F9]when you had it all
You had [C#9]the charm,
You had the talent
And, my [G7]God, you had some fun.

It was a [Cm9]ball, it was a [F9]blast
And it's a [Cm9]shame it couldn't [F9]last,
But ev'[Ebadd9]ry chapter has to end,
You must a[D]gree. [C#]
It was a [Cm9]joy, it was su[Eb]blime,
A splendid [Abadd9]way to earn a dime
For a [C#7]dirty rotten guy [G7]like

[Dm9]   [G9]   [Dm9]   [G9]

When you look [Dm9]back on all [G9]your
conquests and [Dm9]deceptions  [G9]
You see a tho[F]usand flawless pearls
[F/A]set in a [Bb13]strand,
Laid out [G#maj7#11]from Biarritz to Rome,
Each one as [G9]perfect as a poem
[Eb9]An opus to be proud of though it's
[A7]written in the sand.

It was a [Dm9]ball, it was a [G9]thrill,
You had the [Dm9]grace, you had the [G9]skill
To know [Fadd9]exactly what to say
And what to do[E].   [Eb]
You wouldn't [Dm9]trade a single [F]day
Or have it [Bbadd9]any other way
A [Eb9]dirty rotten guy [A7]like
[Bb9]me.

It's almost a religion
The [Ebmaj7]need to take a pigeon
And to [Bb9]play your part
With elegance and [Ebmaj7]zest

But when it's tim[C#7]e to fold the act
And your [F#add9]duffel bag is packed
Take [F9]comfort in the fact
That you've been
[A#9#11]working with the [A7#5]best.

[D#9#11]

It [A7#9]was a blast[Dm9], it was a [G9]ball
It was a [Dm9]gas, I loved [G9]it all
'Cause I [Fadd9]was hanging with the man
And that's a plus[E].   [Eb]

You've got the verve[Dm9]
You've got the guts [F]
You've go the nerve [Bbadd9]

You've got the nuts!
I guess we're [Eb9]dirty rotten crooks,

Dirty rotten shnooks
[A7]Dirty rotten [A#7#5]guys
Oh

It was a trip[D#7#9], it was a blast[Ab9]
It was a sham[D#7#9]e it couldn't lsat[Ab9]
'Cause it was [F#]almost
Too prodigious to discuss[Ab7].

So we got screwe[B9]d for fifty grand[A#7#5]

I think we stil[A13]l deserve a hand [Ab9]
