  • JIMMY WAS A ROCKER OH HOW HE LIKED TO ROCK
    COMBED HIS HAIR JUST RIGHT
    AND PRACTICED THE WAY HE WALKED
    GONNA GO OUT TONIGHT AND MAKE A LITTLE NOISE
    HE WAS A STEEL WORKING MAN JUST LIKE HIS DADDY WAS
    DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE JUST DOING AS HE'S TOLD
    IT CAN'T BE A MAN BETTER BE ONE OF THE BOYS
    GOING TO MEET LITTLE JOE AT THE CORNER
    MAKE SURE HE'S DRESSED UP JUST RIGHT
    LITTLE JOE'S BEEN ACTING LIKE A GONER
    TONIGHT TONIGHT

    PUMPIN' IRON SWEATIN' STEEL
    HEARTS OF STONE DRESSED TO KILL
    PUMPIN' IRON SWEATIN' STEEL
    YOU CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND THE WAY I FEEL

    JIMMY'S GONNA MEET MARIA DOWNTOWN AT 10 O'CLOCK
    HER OLD MAN DON'T LIKE HIM WON'T LET HIM TO THE HOUSE
    POP A PILL DRINK DOWN SOME WHISKEY GET A LITTLE WASTED
    BUT THAT'S ALRIGHT
    THAT POOR BOY GOT TO LIVE HIS WHOLE LIFETIME
    IN JUST ONE NIGHT TONIGHT

    PUMPIN' IRON SWEATIN' STEEL
    HEARTS OF STONE DRESSED TO KILL
    PUMPIN' IRON SWEATIN' STEEL
    YOU CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND THE WAY I FEEL

    HERE COMES MARIA MAN SHE LOOKS REALLY HOT
    GOING TO GIVE HER EVERYTHING I'VE GOT AT LAST
    SLIDES IN THE CHEVY BESIDE LITTLE JOE
    STEPS ON THE GAS AND WATCH HER GO SO FAST SHE'S SO FAST

    PUMPIN' IRON SWEATIN' STEEL
    HEARTS OF STONE DRESSED TO KILL
    PUMPIN' IRON SWEATIN' STEEL
    YOU CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND THE WAY I FEEL Writer/s: Joseph Grushecky
