Fireman Joe

One, two, three, four

Well, he's a man, got much time on his hands

Always making big plans no one understands

Every time he lays it on the line

The dividing line is incredibly fine

If you have to ask "Is it so?"

You're not in the know

Not according to Fireman Joe

Such a well-heeled philanthropist

In a very short time

He can make it a mess

Great big loads of sensitivity

Well, he's got enough, friend, for you and me

If you have to ask "Is it so?"

You're not in the know

Not according to Fireman Joe

It looks so simple, you might say

You don't understand the pressures and the real demands

You don't have his responsibility

Change the facts, try another tact

Better put it back if you've taken his hat

He must hope that your memory's bad

Does it make you feel sad

When you know you've been had?

If you have to ask "Is it so?"

You're not in the know

Not according to Fireman Joe

Looks so simple, you might say

You don't understand the pressures and the real demands

You don't have his responsibility

How it goes, only time will tell

Maybe just as well he can make your life hell

Doesn't talk about ability

He's the first one to say the people gotta be free

If you have to ask "Is it so?"

You're not in the know

Not according to Fireman Joe

It looks so simple, you might say

You don't understand the pressures and the real demands

You don't have his responsibility
