  • Cast your mind back ten years
    To the girl who's next to me in school
    If I put me hand upon her leg
    She hit me with a rule

    Though tomorrow won't be long
    You're gonna have to play it cool
    You get fascinated by her
    She could set the place on fire

    Run and get the fire brigade
    Get the fire brigade
    See the buildings start to really burn
    Get the fire brigade
    Get the fire brigade
    If you jump you've got to wait your turn

    Friends all seem to laugh
    I fear I'm apt to make a compromise
    Try to reassure myself
    My head must need some exercise
    Half past ten in the morning
    She just took me by surprise
    True she set the place on fire
    You get fascinated by her

    Run and get the fire brigade
    Get the fire brigade
    See the buildings start to really burn
    Get the fire brigade
    Get the fire brigade
    If you jump you've got to wait your turn

    The lights across the street throw a rainbow
    I'd love you all to meet her
    I'll be there, I'll be there

    Notice that my eyes have been
    A misty place since Saturday
    Brings a feeling we might lead
    The fire engines anyway

    Though tomorrow won't be long
    You're gonna have to play it cool
    You get fascinated by her
    She could set the place on fire

    Run and get the fire brigade
    Get the fire brigade
    See the buildings start to really burn
    Get the fire brigade
    Get the fire brigade
    If you jump you've got to wait your turn

    Run and get the fire brigade
    Get the fire brigade
    See the buildings start to really burn
    Get the fire brigade
    Get the fire brigade
    If you jump you've got to wait your turn Writer/s: Roy Wood
