lyrics
My name is Quint,
And when the fire bells ring
I'm the rig that's ready -
Ready for anything!
See me fly through turns.
See my ladder sway.
Hear my siren scream, "Get out of my way!"
I'm a big red fire truck.
I save lives. That's what I do.
I'm a big red fire truck.
See me race to the rescue!
See me race to the rescue!
See my ladder go up.
See the people climb down.
I get them out of the smoke.
I put them safe on the ground.
See my tank and my hose
Making water spout.
I gotta keep that pressure pumpin' 'til the flame goes out.
I'm a big red fire truck.
I save lives. That's what I do.
I'm a big red fire truck.
See me race to the rescue!
See me race to the rescue!
Back at the station
Hang my lines out to dry.
I've got to stay ready
'Til the bell rings again and then you'll see me fly!
I'm a big red fire truck.
I save lives. That's what I do.
I'm a big red fire truck.
See me race to the rescue!
See me race to the rescue!
I'm a big red fire truck!
And when the fire bells ring
I'm the rig that's ready -
Ready for anything!
See me fly through turns.
See my ladder sway.
Hear my siren scream, "Get out of my way!"
I'm a big red fire truck.
I save lives. That's what I do.
I'm a big red fire truck.
See me race to the rescue!
See me race to the rescue!
See my ladder go up.
See the people climb down.
I get them out of the smoke.
I put them safe on the ground.
See my tank and my hose
Making water spout.
I gotta keep that pressure pumpin' 'til the flame goes out.
I'm a big red fire truck.
I save lives. That's what I do.
I'm a big red fire truck.
See me race to the rescue!
See me race to the rescue!
Back at the station
Hang my lines out to dry.
I've got to stay ready
'Til the bell rings again and then you'll see me fly!
I'm a big red fire truck.
I save lives. That's what I do.
I'm a big red fire truck.
See me race to the rescue!
See me race to the rescue!
I'm a big red fire truck!

HORRIBLE SONGS FOR CHILDREN
