ROY AND JOHN DOWN BY THE FIRETRUCK by
Clyde Hughes
(to the tune of Me and Julio Down by the School Yard by Paul Simon)
Manly Stanley rolled outta bed
Down at the fire station
When the tones rang out, he began to shout
"Oh where is my vacation?"
It's another fire, it was another fire
What the dispatcher said, it was another fire
Roy and John looked the squad up and down
Seemed like there was something missing
The dispatcher says, oy, if you rescue that girl
She's gonna give you a real big 'kissin'
(Chorus)
Well they're on their way, I don't know where they're goin'
They're on their way, fighting a fire, but it's not put out
Checking hydrants, the first law of fire fightuns,
See Roy and John down by the firetruck
In a couple of days they're gonna drive the squad away
Down at the plant there's a big gas leaking
Now when the shiny engine comes to fight the fire
They're all on the squad hood singing:
(Chorus)
Well they're on their way, I don't know where they're goin'
They're on their way, fighting a fire, but it's not put out
Checking hydrants, the first law of fire fightuns,
See Roy and John down by the firetruck
See Roy and John down by the firetruck
