I’m a Fire TruckI’m a fire truck, don’t you see

I put out fires every dayEveryone wants to ride on me

So come on kids hop on and play

I put out fires every dayTurn on the siren, go real fast

So come on kids hop on and playJump on me and we’ll have a blast

Turn on the siren, go real fastI’m painted red for girls and boys

Jump on me and we’ll have a blastI am the best of all the toys

I’ll let you drive and wear a hatI’m painted red for girls and boys

I’ll even hold your kitty catI am the best of all the toys

I’m painted red for girls and boysEveryone wants to ride on me

I am the best of all the toysI’m a fire truck, don’t you see
