Ding-a-ling-a-ling get your fire suit
Put on your waterproof pants and your big black boots
Remember to find your fire coat and hat
Ding-a-ling-a-ling in twenty seconds flat
The alarm had sounded, Peter jumped to his feet
I’ve got to move fast, I have records to beat.
So he ran to his closet, grabbed hold of pants
Held them up by the waist then took his first chance
Like a bunny he hopped right into the hole
Two legs at a time on the way to his goal
Peter strapped on his boots without sitting down
And thought to himself, “I’m the fastest in town
Chorus
Peter looked for his coat; it was out on the floor
Halfway from his closet on the way to the door
This was the moment where it all was at stake
If you’re gonna break records, there are chances you take
So he dove at his coat, put his arms in the sleeves
Somersaulted right through and bounced up to leave
Where Smokey his puppy, a Dalmatian breed
Had his hat in its mouth, just as they’d agreed
Chorus
Peter was dressed in the perfect attire
To battle the smoke as he put out a fire
Had he gone fast enough, of course Peter reckoned
He shattered his record by a tenth of a second
So he smiled at his puppy, then scratched Smokey’s head
Reset all his clothes and climbed back into bed
Peter stared at the ceiling and counted to ten.
Then whispered to Smokey, let’s do it again.
Chorus
