Hi my name’s MCB as you can see
And I’m coming straight to you from the FDP
Now the FDP is called the Fire De Partment
And that’s where I reside now inside my compartment
Back to the topic at hand
I’m MCB the fireman
Fire suit and fire boots and fire parachute
With a fire hose fiery spraying fire ooze
I sleep in a compartment that’s narrow and slim
But it has its own exit pole and built-in gym
But I also have a dog and his name is Sandy
And he eats roast beef flavored cotton candy

The Beginning
00:52
|
|

|
I used to be a pharmacist but now I’m not
Because I’m busy fighting fire cuz the fire is hot
And the fire is hot because it burns and sizzles
My dog Sandy eats turkey flavored Skittles
I’m wearing a red suit and toting a hose
And I’m riding the firetruck wherever it goes
Cuz I ride on the ladder where my feet are positioned
And when something’s on fire you can tell cuz it glistens
Like once I saw a house that was glistening bright
And it shined like a nightlight throughout the night
So I said to my boss who was driving the truck:
Hey I think there’s a fire. And my boss said: What

Rising Action

I’m MCB the good fireman
Riding on the back of the ladder on the fire van
Saving all people pets women and toddlers
Standing on the top of a rock with binoculars
Spotting the fire blazing deep in the distance
Hopping up and down like as if I were pistons
I’m so excited to be fighting the fire
Because fighting the fire is my prime desire
Plus I have a dog with spots I call Sandy
He drinks boll weevil flavored brandy
He really sniffs around and like finds the fire
Cuz sniffing for fire is his prime desire
But oh here it is now raging enormous
If we don’t put it out it’ll burn the forest
And here comes Bambi running out of the garage
His antler’s on fire I’m like oh my gosh

Continued Action

|

So I use my fire hose and spray it around
And now Bambi’s antler is safer now
Cuz now Bambi’s antler is not on fire
And that is a state to vehemently desire
Cuz fire can really hurt and burn your flesh
If I asked him and Sandy could speak he’d say yes
When I asked him if fire really could burn flesh
Cuz I feed Sandy crab flavored Sucrets
So now Bambi comes bounding out the garage
And he sees that his antler is all washed off
I’m MCB the super good firefighter
Never am I carelessly using my lighter

Excitement
00:52
|
|

I am a fireman just look at my suit
It is fire retardant yeah so are the boots
And I’m jangling around gripping onto the ladder
On the back of the fire van to go for a gander
And it’s quiet today because the sun isn’t out
And the sun is the prime reason that fire breaks out
Cuz the sun is the hottest thing ever invented
It will burn anything that’s insufficiently vented
Now my own dog Sandy is starting to bark
Which is his way of transmitting a signal to hark
So I scream immediately: Stop the van
And we come to a halt forcing traffic to jam

Back to Station
00:53
|
|
||
|
I’m MCB and I’m a firefighter
I’m also a ladder gripping fire van rider
When I’m cold gripping the fire van ladder
You know I’m searching out for some fiery matter
So once when I searched for fire
We were driving so fast that both my arms got tired
Cuz it’s hard to be gripping a ladder with your arm
Especially if you don’t work on a farm
So luckily we soon did arrive at the station
Cuz that is the fire van’s main destination
Sitting in the station and waiting for fire
Is undoubtedly the fire van’s prime desire

Climax

So I found myself in the middle of trouble
I was caught in a burning house under some rubble
Cuz I dashed in the building swinging my fire axe
And then all of a sudden I could hear a crash
So next thing you know now I’m under some rubble
Thus as I think I formerly mentioned I’m in trouble
Cuz the house is burning and the rubble has fallen
And my fire axe broke because it’s not my calling
To be swinging a fire axe recklessly about
When I enter a burning house with no way out
So I’m under the rubble and my suit has a rip
Plus I’m noticing an uncomfortable sore on my lip
So I scream for help thinking I’m going to die
Then as anyone else would I broke down and cried
But hark I hear a noise like a bark or a yelp
And I think it’s my dog Sandy coming to help

Climax Continued
00:46
|
|
||
|
So here’s my dog Sandy who’s come to my aid
O Sandy good dog please take me away
So Sandy gives a snarl and he chomps on the rubble
And chews on the rubble and turns it to stubble
So the rubble is gone now I can finally move
But the temperature’s rising to a thousand and two
But we don’t let the fire take our courage away
We decide not to turn we decide to run straight
Which is the best thing to do when faced with fire
Run straight through and never even stop if you’re tired
So now we’re both free and we have no burns
Cuz we ran so fast and then we jumped in some ferns
|

The Call
01:04
|
|
||
|
I was at the station sleeping in my bunk
Sandy was chewing upon a plastic chunk
Cuz there was no fire anywhere to fight
And plus it was really kind of late at night
Cuz most fires happen only during the day
Cuz that’s when then sun comes with deadly rays
And burns everything and starts all fire
But late at night it’s like cool and tired
But then all the sudden I woke up startled
Cuz Sandy had choked upon the plastic he gargled
And that woke me up cuz I’m a light sleeper
And plus I could hear the quaint sound of my beeper
Now one thing’s for sure: When my beeper is beeping
It means there’s a fire that is raging and screeping
And somebody is calling my beeper to warn me
To come and help put out the fire that’s forming

Alarm Procedure
01:06
|
|
||
|
The first thing that happens when we know there’s a fire
Is we all wake up even if we are tired
And then all of us firefighters put on our suits
That are red with black trim and big black boots
Then we put on our helmets and we run to the pole
Which connects the second floor where we sleep to below
And we slide down the pole till we get to the bottom
Then we take our positions on our fire toboggan
Which is our slang term we use instead of fire van
So I clutch the ladder at the back with my hands
And my dog Sandy stands right by my feet
And I feed him a bowl of goose flavored ice cream
And the siren turns on blaring loud
It hurts my ears I really hate that sound
