Safety First - ALWAY


Fire! Fire!
Hear that scream a mile or so away.
Mercy! Water!
Flames a beam, the night sky turns to day.
Hasten! Hurry!
Dial fast! Let the brigadiers know.
Back off - stay back!
Let them pass, oh what a tale of woe.

But how did it all happen?
Can I proceed to ask?
Had someone been careless with matches?
Did lamps tilt or oil stoves blast?
Pray - tell me - I'm wondering, do tell me.
Who set those rough sparks a - flying?
What kindled a blazing inferno?
To send an old lady - a DYING?

Hear me! Hear me!
One and all! Never let fires begin!
Never! Never!
Not at all - they can burn EVERYTHING!
Up now - Rally!
Spread the word! For SAFETY calls TODAY!
Faster! Faster!
You'll be heard - Safety first, ALWAY!
