Intro

Verse 1

In the sweet old country where I come from,

nobody ever works, nothing ever gets done,

We hang Fire, We hang fire.

You know marrying money is a full-time job,

I don't need the aggravation, I'm a lazy slob.

Chorus

We hang Fire, A'hang fire, hang fire hang,

Put it on the wire, baby.

Hang Fire, hang fire,

Put it on the wire, baby.

Bridge

(We got) nothing to eat, we got nowhere to work.

  Nothing to drink, we just lost our shirt.

  I'm on the dole, We ain't for hire.

  Say what the hell, Say what the hell!

Chorus

Hang Fire, hang fire, Hang fire, hang fire,

  Put it on the wire, baby.

Hang Fire, hang fire, Hang fire, hang fire,

Put it on the wire, baby.

Verse 2

Yeh! take a thousand dollars, go and have some fun,

Put it all on at a hundred to one.

Hang Fire, We hang fire,

Put it on the wire, baby.
