Fire in the Engine Room

Lyrics

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
