Working in the laundry in Arlöv
it was summer and warm
it was a summer job
I was gonna get some money of my own
Next to me stood an old hag
Hanna from Arlöv,
sweating in the steam from the press
It was 40 degrees hot

Hanna from Arlöv, hey
I learned a lot from you
You told it like it was
and it felt so good
Now I can do something myself
Do something myself

We worked together in the laundry
Hanna was a communist
A 50 year old lady,
cant be a communist right?
She was pissed of at the heat
and the poss that said they couldn't afford fans
Kiss my ass, said Hanna

Hanna from Arlöv, hey
I learned a lot from you
You told it like it was
and it felt so good
Now I can do something myself
Do something myself

And Hanna held a speech on a mangle
Let's go on a wild strike
We are no animals
We shall get our fans god damnit
She spoke to me about our job
and the bosses profit
and how we that work should stick together
She didn't think I was a young and dumb girl

Hanna from Arlöv, hey
I learned a lot from you
You told it like it was
and it felt so good
Now I can do something myself
Do something myself

The entire laundry stood still in Arlöv
The boss tore his hair
A yugoslav had to leave
but they didn't dare sacking Hanna
So in the end we got a fan
It was a pity fan
it was almost as hot as before
But I learned how to fight
