Fire Fire Fire!

These are the lyrics I learned, but there are different versions. I underlined the words with actions that we take out each time. Try it yourself!

Late last night, when we were all in bed,
Missus O’Leary left a lantern in the shed,
And when the cow kicked it over, she turned around and said,
“There’ll be a HOT time on the old town tonight.”
FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!

Welcome!
