Pumping Iron Songtext
von Marc Cohn

When I am working out
I hear my body shout
I hear me knockin′
And then I start to boil
I need a change of oil
Hear me knockin'
Generating twenty-seven hundred watts
Gotta get the power, gotta get the force
Pushin′ and a-pullin' 'til it starts to rock
Hear me knock, hear me knock, hear me knock
See me hustle, feel my muscle
Pumpin′ iron
I′m tryin' to build my body
But I think I′m gonna lose my mind
See me strainin', I′m in trainin'
Pumpin′ iron
I'm pumpin' like an engine
And I′m knockin′, I said I'm knockin′
You know I'm knockin′, hear me knock
I'm pumpin′ iron


I love my body so
I love to see it grow
Hear me knockin'
There ain't another thing
That′s even half as big
Hear me knockin′
Pumpin' up the pressure as the thing gets worse
Stronger than the Masters of the Universe
Heavy metal welded in solid rock
Hear me knock, hear me knock, hear me knock
No, no
See me strainin′, I'm in trainin′
Pumpin' iron
I′m pumpin' like an engine
I'm knockin′, I′m knockin', yeah, I′m knockin'
Hear me knock
I′m pumpin' iron
See me hustle, feel my muscle
Pumpin′ iron
I'm tryin' to build my body
But you know I′m gonna lose my mind, yeah
See me strainin′, I'm in trainin′
Pumpin' iron
I′m pumpin' like an engine
′Cause I'm knockin', I′m knockin′, I'm knockin′
Hear me knock
I'm pumpin′ iron
I'm pumpin′ iron
Feel my muscle
See me hustle
I'm pumpin' iron
Look it, baby
You see me knockin′
So can′t come in, oh
Can't come in
Feel my muscle
