When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up to iron for thee.
When I'm steaming, yeah I know I'm gonna steam,
I'm gonna steam the creases out on every seam.
When I'm working, yes I know I'm gonna work,
I'm gonna work to press the shirts you wear to work.
And when the pile's down, well I know it's gonna be,
It's gonna be so flat you'll be proud of me.

And I would iron five hundred shirts,
And I would iron five hundred more,
Just to be the man who ironed a thousand shirts,
To hang in your wardrobe

When I'm tired, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who's tired from ironing.
And when I'm dreaming, well I dream about the time,
When I'm gonna be the one who's ironing line by line
When I'm older, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who's older ironing for thee.
And when I'm thinking, yeah I know I'll think of how,
I ironed shirts for you and I'm still doing it now.

And I would iron five hundred shirts,
And I would iron five hundred more,
Just to be the man who ironed a thousand shirts,
To hang in your wardrobe

Da da da (da da da)
Da da da (da da da)
Da da da dun diddle un diddle un diddle uh da
Da da da (da da da)
Da da da (da da da)
Da da da dun diddle un diddle un diddle uh da

When the day's done, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who's ironed shirts for family.
And when it's evening, and I'm finally sitting down,
I'll know I've earned my rest with no more shirts around

And I would iron five hundred shirts,
And I would iron five hundred more,
Just to be the man who ironed a thousand shirts,
To hang in your wardrobe

Da da da (da da da)
Da da da (da da da)
Da da da dun diddle un diddle un diddle uh da
Da da da (da da da)
Da da da (da da da)
Da da da dun diddle un diddle un diddle uh da
