Lyrics
(Melody by Marshall Bartholomew, Lyrics by Florence C. Fox)
1. Hear the fire bells, “Ding ding dong!”
Up the street there’s something wrong.
Firemen shout, “Look out, look out!”
“Ding ding ding ding, ding ding dong!”
“Number nine!” the fire-bells ring,
“Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!”
2. Hear the fire bells, “Ding ding dong!”
All the people rush along,
“Clear the track, they’re coming back!”
“Ding ding ding ding, ding ding dong!”
“False alarm!” the fire bells ring,
“Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!”
