Fire in the Engine Room Richard Thompson
Fire In The Engine Room
[Em] [D] [Em] [D]
[Em]Well Luke told Danny, Danny told Betsy
Betsy told me and I'm telling [A]you
You'd [Em]better stop doing the things you do
There's a fire in the engine room, fi[A]re in the engine room[B] [A] [B]
Damp it down or we're all going under
Run them hoses, it's smouldering again
Better line up in a human chain
There's a fire in the engine room, fire in the engine room
Fire, fire, my heart is busting
You drive me crazy with the things you say
Jealousy's got me and it won't go away
There's a fire in the engine room fire in the engine room
And I [B]don't [E]know [F#]how you come to reason
That [B]some[E]how [F#]treason isn't treason
It [B]must [E]be the [F#]head-hunting season
And there's [Abm]room in the [E]old trophy [F#]room
She's making eyes at the fool with the shovel
That son of a grease-gun must be insane
I hose it down and he fans the flames
There's a fire in the engine room, fire in the engine room
And you know how uncertainty can linger
With a rattlesnake wrapped around your finger
One day it might wake up and sting you
Here's a toast to the bride and the groom
Oh, fire, fire, my heart is busting
You drive me crazy with the things you say
Jealousy's got me and it won't go away
There's a fire in the engine room, fire in the engine room
