Fire in the Engine Room |
| Well Luke told Danny, Danny told Betsy |
| Betsy told me and I’m telling you |
| You’d better stop doing the things you do There’s a fire in the engine room |
| Fire in the engine room |
| Damp it down or we’re all going under |
| Run them hoses, it’s smouldering again |
| Better line up in a human chain |
| There’s a fire in the engine room |
| Fire in the engine room |
| Fire, fire, my heart is busting |
| You drive me crazy with the things you say |
| Jealousy’s got me and it won’t go away |
| There’s a fire in the engine room |
| Fire in the engine room |
| And I don’t know how you come to reason |
| That somehow treason isn’t treason |
| It must be the head-hunting season |
| And there’s room in the old trophy room |
| She’s making eyes at the fool with the shovel |
| That son of a grease-gun must be insane |
| I hose it down and he fans the flames |
| There’s a fire in the engine room |
| Fire in the engine room |
| And you know how uncertainty can linger |
| With a rattlesnake wrapped around your finger |
| One day it might wake up and sting you |
| Here’s a toast to the bride and the groom |
| Oh, fire, fire, my heart is busting |
| You drive me crazy with the things you say |
| Jealousy’s got me and it won’t go away |
| There’s a fire in the engine room |
| Fire in the engine room |
| Fire in the engine room |
| Fire in the engine room |
