I found this on the back of the record album that I loved as a kid. I didn't think I had it anymore, record is full of scratches, it is at least 50 years old with a tag from F A O Schwartz in NY THE LITTLE FIREMAN from the story by Margaret Wise Brown published by William H. Scott Inc. New York, NY Fire, Fire, Fire, hear the people shout, Where are the firemen to put the fire out? They leap into their hats and boots, And slide down poles with one big scoot They board their engine, off it goes With hook and ladder, rubber hose; They pass us by so very fast We'Ve hardly time to gaze, Their big bells clang, Make way for us To fight the roaring blaze! Fire, Fire, Fire raging all about Here come the firemen to put the fire out Fire, Fire, Fire raging all about Here come the firemen to put the fire out The great big ladder, up it goes, The great big fireman, a great big hose, Shooting water with a great big roar Till the great big fire isn't there any more Fire, Fire, Fire raging all about Here come the firemen to put the fire out The small small ladder, up it goes, The small small fireman, small small hose, Squirting water on a flaming wall, But the big big fire didn't mind at all. Fire, Fire, Fire raging all about There go the firemen who put the fire out, They scale thier ladder, squirt their hoses, Smoke gets in their eyes and noses, Pour the water on each nook, And smah through flame with axe and hook; Then home thy go when the fire is out, And people shout their praise, While big bells clang, Make way for us Who fought the roaring blaze! No more fire, raging all about, There go the firemen who put the fire out
