For you have too many irons in the fire
And there’s too many loves you desire
It’s off with the old, and it’s on with the new
You’ll never know what it means to be true
Too many parties and then
You’ll find sadness and tears in the end
You’ll never hear a baby croon
You’ll never share a honeymoon
With too many irons in the fire

(Musical Break)

Too many parties and then
You’ll find sadness and tears in the end
You’ll never hear a baby croon
You’ll never share a honeymoon
With too many irons in the fire
