Testo Firehouse 35 Phil Ochs
Iâve often wondered why, as a fireman races by,
How often have I said, "why are fire engines red? "
Just ask the boys in firehouse 35
(chorus)
Singinâ firehouse thirty five, firehouse thirty five
In between all the fires they are quenchinâ their desires,
Thereâs a hot time in firehouse thirty five.
Itâs a sin and itâs a shame, I thought checkers was their game,
But I found to my suprise why thereâs fire in their eyes,
Just ask the boys in firehouse 35.
(chorus)
Itâs a fire marshallâs dream, they blow away their steam,
But to make them leave their charms you need four or five alarms,
Just ask the boys in firehouse 35.
(chorus)
So hereâs a root and hereâs a toot for the gals of ill repute,
At last it can be told why theyâre racinâ up those poles,
Just ask the boys in firehouse 35.
(chorus)
