Fire, down below, I said fire, down below.
And the people dem a running around.
And the people dem a running around.
How you not sleep, get a cup of tea.
How you not sleep, get a cup of tea.
I have a little tea pot, short and stout,
this is my handle, this is my spout.
A when I get my tea yeah, then I will shout
you gots to tip, tip it over, people then you pour me
out.
I said fire, fire now, down below x2
Fire, down below, I said fire, down below.
And the people dem a running around.
And the people dem running around.
How you not sleep, get a cup of tea.
How you not sleep, get a cup of tea.
I have a little tea pot, short and stout,
this is my handle, this is my spout.
When I get my tea yeah, then I will shout,
you gots to tip, tip it over, people then you pour me
out.
I said fire, fire now, down below.
I said fire, down below.
And the people dem running around.
And the people dem running around.
I said fire, fire now, down below
