Babe Im On Fire Lyrics

    Father says it, mother says it
    Sister says it, brother says it
    Uncle says it, Auntie says it
    Everyone at the party says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    The horse says it, the pig says it
    The judge in his wig says it
    The fox and the rabbit
    And the nun in her habit says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    My mate Bill Gates says it
    The President of the United States says it
    The slacker and the worker
    The girl in her burqa says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    The general with his tank says it
    The man at the bank says it
    The soldier with his rocket
    And the mouse in my pocket says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    The drug-addled wreck
    With a needle in his neck says it
    The drunk says it, punk says it
    The brave Buddhist monk says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    Hit me up, baby, and knock me down
    Drop what you're doing and come around
    We can hold hands till the sun goes down
    Cause I know
    That you
    And I
    Can be
    Together
    Cause I love you

    The blind referee says it
    The unlucky amputee says it
    The giant killer bee
    Landing on my knee says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    The cop with his breathalyser
    The paddy with his fertiliser
    The man in the basement
    That's getting a taste for it says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    The fucked-up Rastafarian says it
    The dribbling libertarian says it
    The sweet little Goth
    With the ears of cloth says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe' I'm on fire

    The cross-over country singer says it
    The hump-backed bell ringer says it
    The swinger, the flinger
    The outraged right-winger says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    The man going hiking says it
    The misunderstood Viking says it
    The man at the rodeo
    And the lonely old Eskimo says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    [Chorus]

    The mild little Christian says it
    The wild Sonny Liston says it
    The pimp and the gimp
    And the guy with the limp says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    The blind piano tuner says it
    The Las Vegas crooner says it
    The hooligan mooner
    Holding a schooner says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    The Chinese contortionist says it
    The backyard abortionist says it

    With his lamb Bhirriani says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    The toilet attendant says it
    The pornographer, the stenographer
    The fashion photographer says

    Babe, I'm on fire

    The college professor says it
    The vicious cross-dresser says it

    In the back of the car says
    Babe, I'm on fire
    Babe, I'm on fire

    [Chorus]
