My Fire Department Needs A Fireman
By: Shadows Of Knight
(Jerry Kasenetz - Jeff Katz)
1969

My baby really turns me on
You better turn in the fire alarm
My temperature's about a hundred and ten
'Cause that's the mood my baby puts me in

(I said) My fire department needs a fireman
(Baby) Good hot lovin' is so hard to stand
(Come on) My fire department needs a fireman
Good hot lovin' is so hard to stand

Open up your door
And let me in
The fire's gettin' hotter
It's burnin' within
I feel like I'm standin' in a red-hot oven
When she starts givin' me her good good lovin'

(You know) My fire department needs a fireman
(Jerry!) Good hot lovin' is so hard to stand
(Good God!) My fire department needs a fireman
Good hot lovin' is so hard to stand

Got to have your lovin'
Got to have your fire
Come on baby
You' re a real live wire
Open up your door
Women let me in
Your fire's gettin' hotter
It's burnin' within

(I said) My fire department needs a fireman
(Baby) Good hot lovin' is so hard to stand
(Wah!) My fire department needs a fireman
(Good God!) Good hot lovin' is so hard to stand

(Wah!) My fire department needs a fireman
Good hot lovin' is so hard to stand
My fire department needs a fireman
Good hot lovin' is so hard to stand

 

ANDY RATING:

A heavy metal entry in the bubblegum family, bridging the garage band sound with whatever Ram Jam attempted to do a few years later. Three-alarm bubblegum anyway.

 

NOTES:

. . . another in a long line of sexually infused bubblegum songs . . . not that I understand what the "Fire Department" or the "Fireman" represents . . . another 10 minutes working on the lyrics and K&K would have slipped in a firepole reference . . . if that is not Eric Stewart (soon of 10cc) playing his distinctive slide riff in the last two breaks, I will trade in my new Consequences CD . . .
