One hot summer's day

I was playing in the arcade,

I never thought I'd see flames,

Rising out of my favorite games,

Great arcade fire,

Great arcade fire,

Great arcade fire,

Great arcade fire,

I'm looking at our stage,

The lion in our cage,

They lit the cage on fire,

It was supposed to disappear,

Oh no, the lion's on fire

The lion's on fire,

The lion's on fire,

The lion's on fire,

My God, the lion's on fire,

My good God, the lion's on fire,

When I was a little kid,

I was sleeping in my bed

My mom said, "Wake up, sleepyhead

The house is on fire, follow me",

We ran downstairs past the burning Christmas tree

Christimas on fire,

Christimas on fire,

Christimas on fire,

Christimas on fire,

Christimas on fire,

My God, Christimas on fire,

My good God, Christimas on fire,

Tonight,

This happens every time,

This happens every time,

This happens every time,

This happens every time.
