Don't Forget Your Firehouse Mates

MP3

Safe and sound at home again, let the fires roar, Jack.
Safe and sound at home again, let the fires roar, Jack.

Chorus:
Long we’ve fought at the end of a hose,
Now we’re safe at home, Jack.
Don’t forget yer firehouse mates,
Folly rolly rolly rolly rye oh!

Since we left academy, thirty years gone by, Jack.
Was there ever buddies, now, such as you and I, Jack?

We have worked the self-same truck, Ladder-12 division.
Rescue I and Pump-man you, in the fire tradition.

Oftentimes have we gone in, toil nor danger fearing,
Dragging out a soul or two, to the crowd a’ cheering.

When midnight found us all awake, and the time went slow, boy,
Who could choose a rousing stave, who like Jack or Joe, boy?

But the best of friends must part, fair or foul the weather.
Reach yer hand out for a shake, now a drink together.
