well luke told danny , danny told betsy
A
betsy told me and i’m telling you
Em
you’d better stop doing the things you do
A B A B
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
B E F#
that somehow treason isn’t treason
B E F#
it must be the head – hunting season
G#m E F#
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
