Ironing Tuesdays lyrics

"Don't break your back for me," she said

without hesitation.

All these things we don't need and

two saved-up vacations.

Well, don't you recall mornings spent

half naked in a fray?

Fighting over money,

wishing we could run away...

...from washing Saturdays 

and ironing Tuesdays.

From washing Saturdays 

and ironing Tuesdays

Once we had just one room to share,

but now we have many.

And I work just as hard as if

we didn't have any.

Well, I'd relive the blunders and

mistakes that I've made

and sacrifice the precious, useless

money that I've saved...

...from washing Saturdays 

and ironing Tuesdays.

From washing Saturdays 

and ironing Tuesdays

I could have given up hope and

we could have split up, but

boxes of laundry soap and

babies that spit up

kept us together.

All of these luxuries we have,

they're just ornamental.

And whether we have them or not,

we can still afford to be sentimental

'bout times that try us, times that make us

work just to survive,

ties that bind us, and remind us

that we're still alive...

...like washing Saturdays 

and ironing Tuesdays.

Like washing Saturdays 

and ironing Tuesdays

Like washing Saturdays 

and ironing Tuesdays

Like washing Saturdays 

and ironing Tuesdays

Washing Saturdays 

and ironing Tuesdays

Washing Saturdays 

and ironing Tuesdays

Washing Saturdays 

and ironing Tuesdays
