Why Is A Fire Engine Red Lyrics
(J.R. Cash)
When I was a little boy, my Daddy said, Son, do you know why fire engine's red? So I looked up to my Daddy and said, no Sir, I don't know, why a fire engine's red.
And he said, repeat after me, and I'll tell you, why.
Here goes:
'Cause a newspaper's read, too - 'cause a newspaper's read, too
Two and two is four - two and two is four
Four times three is twelve - four times three is twelve
Twelve is the length of a ruler - twelve is the length of a ruler
A ruler is Queen Mary - a ruler is Queen Mary
Queen Mary is a ship - Queen Mary is a ship
A ship sails the ocean - a ship sails the ocean
The ocean has fish - the ocean has fish
The fish has fins - the fish has fins
The Finns fought the Russians - the Finns fought the Russians
The Russians are red - the Russians are red
A fire engine's always rushin', so it's red, too
Ha - ha - ha
