We´ve lived around here most all of our lives Did most anything we wanted to do We will celebrate every 4th of July Just a little tamer than most of the rest of us do Well don´t light a match and don´t play with fire
Pull down easy on the gas lighter There´s a shelter down at the veteran´s hall Living in the shadow of the hot house ball We can dance in the streets any night or day The big ball men built such a nice old park One day we´ll celebrate every halloween Our faces as masks everyone glow in the dark Well don´t light a match, don´t play with fire Step real lightly round the barb wire Keep the noise down to hear the meltdown call Living in the shadow of the hot house ball Temper´s hot, better pray for rain Better watch out now for the Gamma rays It´s party time at the government gate Hey, don´t light a match, don´t play with fire Pull down easy on the gas lighter There´s a shelter down at the veteran´s hall Living in the shadow of the hot house ball
