Pump it, boys!
Jimmy was a rocker, oh, how he liked to rock
Combed his hair just right
And he practiced the way he talked
Gonna go out tonight and make a little noise
He was a steel-driving man just like his daddy was
Didn't have a choice, he's just doing what he's told
If you can't be a man better be one of the boys
Going to meet little Joe at the corner
Hey, make sure he is dressed up just right
Little Joe has been acting like a goner
But tonight
It's all right!
Pumping iron, sweating steel
Hearts of stone, dressed to kill
Pumping iron, sweating steel
Well, you can never understand the way I feel
Jimmy's gonna meet Maria downtown at ten o'clock
Well, her old man don't like him, won't let him come to the house
Pop a pill, drink some whiskey, get a little wasted, baby, that's all right
'Cause that poor boy got to live his whole lifetime
In just one night, and that night'll be tonight
Can I hear you over there? Can I hear you?
Pumping iron, sweating steel
Hearts of stone, dressed to kill
Pumping iron, sweating steel
Well, you can never understand the way I feel
Here come Maria, man she looks really hot
Got to give her everything I got, at last
Slips in her Chevy beside little Joe
Steps on the gas and watch her go so fast, ah, she's so fast
Get it going!
Pumping iron, sweating steel
Hearts of stone, dressed to kill
Pumping iron, sweating steel
Well, you can never understand
Pumping iron, sweating steel
Hearts of stone, dressed to kill
Pumping iron, sweating steel
Well, you can never understand the way I feel
Well, you can never understand the way I feel
One, two, three, four!
Pumping iron, sweating steel
Hearts of stone, dressed to kill
Pumping iron, sweating steel
Well, you can never understand the way I feel
You can never understand the way I feel
Let me hear you say yeah!
Let me hear you say yeah!
Let me hear you say yeah!
Let me hear you say yeah!
