[Intro]
(doo-doo-doo-doo) We rise at eight on the dot (yawn) we sure slept a lot Coffee’s cold, but duty’s hot Time for the great radio Roll call
[Verse 1]
Captain clears his throat and grins Gentlemen, the test begins Every gadget, every beep Been charging up while we all sleep Line ‘em up from big to small We’re gonna vocal-fry ‘em all
[Chorus 1]
Engine 1 portable Are you alive? Copy that, I THRIVE (ba-da-bing) Engine 3 mobile How do you do I sound better than you (ohhh) Ladder truck dashboard, loud and proud I’m obnoxiously clear and I way too loud From the bunk room, shower room Broom closet portable Ten-four, good morning I’m the janitors portable
[Verse 2]
Chief says check the spares as well We unleash, electromagnetic hell One guy shouts I FOUND THIS BRICK It weighs about a pound And hums like a tick Push the button Chorus swells It still works, (sort of) We’ll never tell
[Chorus 2]
Copy room handheld Testing the tone I was lost for a decade Now I’ve found a home Dispatch back up Under the chair I’ve been eating dust But I’m still on the air Kitchen counter clipped to a mug Loud and clear from beside this jug From the far dark corner Echoing faint I’m the radio they used for the firehouse paint
[Bridge]
Uh, folks, we’re getting some interference (Ooooooooo) Who’s that crackle in the deep foundation We forgot a station We forgot a station
[Chorus 3]
Breaker breaker from the basement Come in please I’m wedged between the pipes and the Christmas trees Old tin speaker with the cobweb grill I survived the 80’s and I’m kickin’ still Tool room talkie by the rusty rake I only wake up for a safety check break Every last radio sings in tune Good Morning World Woah, It’s noon?! (wait, what)
[Outro]
We’ll fight the flames when they appear But first we check what we hold dear A hundred voices, loud and bright All screaming, yep We work alright Fire’s quiet, station’s loud We’re the most overcheck Radio sounds
