Well they call me the fireman that's my name 
                                               D7 
Making my rounds all over town puttin' out ol' flames 
     G 
Well everybody likes to have what I got 
      C 
I can cool 'em down when smolderin' hot 
                 G       D7        G 
They call me the fireman that's my name 

                                D7                   G 
Last night they had a bad one a mile or two down the road 
                                                            D7 
Well my buddy walked out and left this woman burnin' out of control 
       G 
Well I was down there in bout an hour or so 
       C 
With a little mouth to mouth she was ready to go 
        G       D7        G 
I'm the fireman that's my name 


REPEAT Chorus

I've got fire engine red T bird automobile 
                                            D7 
In a minute or less I can be dressed fit to kill 
       G 
I work twenty-four on and twenty-four off 
          C 
When they get too hot they just give me a call 
             G       D7        G 
Well I'm the fireman that's my name 


REPEAT Chorus 

                         D7        G 
They call me the fireman that's my name
