THREE ALARM FIRE

Went to see my doctor bout some third degree burns
Doctor told me “Listen boy ‘cause you ain’t gonna learn”
“Your body’s run a fever bout 125”
“Won’t forget to mention that you shouldn’t be alive”
“Critical condition
— the disease is desire”
“Your baby, she be burnin’
—like a THREE ALARM FIRE!”
My baby be burnin’
—my baby be burnin’!
My baby be burnin’
—good god, she be burnin’!
Flames of passion, reaching higher and higher..
My baby she be burnin’
—like a THREE ALARM FIRE!

Went to see the preacher man to get me through day..
Emptied out my wallet, put my soul on “layaway"
Eve had bit the apple, Delilah took the ride..
Preacher said “Your woman’s got the devil inside”
Shouting hallelujah to the deacons and the choir
“Your baby, she be burnin’
—like a THREE ALARM FIRE!”
My baby be burnin’
—my baby be burnin’!
My baby be burnin’
—good god, she be burnin’!
Flames of passion, reaching higher and higher..
My baby she be burnin’
—like a THREE ALARM FIRE!

Had to see my lawyer, so I called him on the phone
Empty-headed shyster told me “Leave the chick alone”
Litigation pending, he said he had his fill..
“That woman’s really smokin’, boy..you’d better write your will”
Consensus opinion, from Jacoby to Meyers...
“Your baby, she be burnin’
—like a THREE ALARM FIRE!”
My baby be burnin’
—my baby be burnin’!
My baby be burnin’
—good god, she be burnin’!
Flames of passion, reaching higher and higher..
My baby she be burnin’
—like a THREE ALARM FIRE!
