[Verse]
     G     C        G                 C     G
I've often wondered why, as a fireman races by,

          C      G              C            A7
How often I have said, "Why are fire engines red?"

     G               D                G
Just ask the boys in Firehouse Thirty Five
[Chorus]
        C                      G
Singin' Firehouse Thirty Five, Firehouse Thirty Five

                   G7             C               A7
In between all the fires they are quenchin' their desires,

          G           D                G
There's a hot time in Firehouse Thirty Five.
[Verse]
     G     C        G                 C     G
It's a sin and it's a shame, I thought checkers was their game,

          C      G              C            A7
But I found to my suprise why there's fire in their eyes,

     G               D                G
Just ask the boys in Firehouse Thirty Five.
[Chorus]
        C                      G
Singin' Firehouse Thirty Five, Firehouse Thirty Five

                   G7             C               A7
In between all the fires they are quenchin' their desires,

          G           D                G
There's a hot time in Firehouse Thirty Five.
[Verse]
     G     C        G                 C     G
It's a fire marshall's dream, they blow away their steam,

          C      G              C            A7
But to make them leave their charms you need four or five alarms,

     G               D                G
Just ask the boys in Firehouse Thirty Five.
[Chorus]
        C                      G
Singin' Firehouse Thirty Five, Firehouse Thirty Five

                   G7             C               A7
In between all the fires they are quenchin' their desires,

          G           D                G
There's a hot time in Firehouse Thirty Five.
[Verse]
     G     C        G                 C     G
So here's a root and here's a toot for the gals of ill repute,

          C      G              C            A7
At last it can be told why they're racin' up those poles,

     G               D                G
Just ask the boys in Firehouse Thirty Five.
[Chorus]
        C                      G
Singin' Firehouse Thirty Five, Firehouse Thirty Five

                   G7             C               A7
In between all the fires they are quenchin' their desires,

          G           D                G
There's a hot time in Firehouse Thirty Five.
