Fire Down Below |
She was the parson’s daughter |
With her red and rosy cheeks |
(Wa-hey-heave-hi-ho!) |
She went to church on Sunday |
And sang the anthem sweet |
(And there’s fire down below) |
The parson was a misery |
So scraggy and so thin |
(Wa-hey-heave-hi-ho!) |
Look here, you motherfuckers |
If you lead a life of sin |
Then there’s fire down below |
He took his text from Malachi |
And pulled a weary face |
(Wa-hey-heave-hi-ho!) |
Well, I fucked off for Africa |
And there, I fell from grace |
'Cause there’s fire down below |
The parson’s little daughter |
Was as sweet as sugar-candy |
(Wa-hey-heave-hi-ho!) |
I said to her, «us sailors |
Would make lovers neat and handy» |
'Cause there’s fire down below |
She says to me, «you sailors |
Are a bunch of fucking liars |
(Wa-hey-heave-hi-ho!) |
And all of you are bound to hell |
To feed the fucking fires» |
'Cause there’s fire down below" |
Well, there’s fire down below, my lad |
So we must do what we oughta |
(Wa-hey-heave-hi-ho!) |
'Cause the fire is not half as hot |
As the parson’s little daughter |
And there’s fire down below |
Yes, there’s fire (fire) |
Down (down) |
Below |
Yes, there’s fire (fire) |
Down (down) |
Below |
Yes, there’s fire (fire) |
Down (down) |
Below |
