My Ragtime Fireman 1912

I've got the sweetest, cutest,
dearest Fireman,
that ever put out a fire.
Right from the start
he won my heart,
when I saw him riding
on that red hosecart.
He is so brave,
so very brave,
I know he'd save,
I'm sure he'll save,
me a little lovin'
love is all I crave.

Oh, maybe, oh, maybe,
you have seen my baby
the man with the ladder
and the hose, goodness knows,
there's something nice about him
no one can deny,
his kisses sweet
are sweeter than a homemade pie,
and when I find him,
oh, find him,
I'm going to remind him
by yellin' out as loudly as I can,
Fireman, fireman,
save your child
can't you see I'm nearly wild?
My heart is burning, burning,
burning up from yearning
for my Ragtime Fireman.

Oh, maybe, oh, maybe,
you have seen my baby
the man with the ladder
and the hose, goodness knows,
there's something nice about him
no one can deny,
his kisses sweet
are sweeter than a homemade pie,
and when I find him,
oh, find him,
I'm going to remind him
by yellin' out as loudly as I can,
Fireman, fireman,
save your child
can't you see I'm nearly wild?
My heart is burning, burning,
burning up from yearning
for my Ragtime Fireman.

He is the boldest, bravest,
fearless Fireman
that ever was on the job.
All the folks shout
when he's about,
Fire simply looks at him
and goes right out.
Stranger to fear
doesn't know fear
when danger's near
he says: "Stay here,"
Only time he's scared is
when I call him "Dear."

Oh, maybe, oh, maybe,
you have seen my baby
the man with the ladder
and the hose, goodness knows,
there's something nice about him
no one can deny,
his kisses sweet
are sweeter than a homemade pie,
and when I find him,
oh, find him,
I'm going to remind him
by yellin' out as loudly as I can,
Fireman, fireman,
save your child
can't you see I'm nearly wild?
My heart is burning, burning,
burning up from yearning
for my Ragtime Fireman.

Oh, maybe, oh, maybe,
you have seen my baby
the man with the ladder
and the hose, goodness knows,
there's something nice about him
no one can deny,
his kisses sweet
are sweeter than a homemade pie,
and when I find him,
oh, find him,
I'm going to remind him
by yellin' out as loudly as I can,
Fireman, fireman,
save your child
can't you see I'm nearly wild?
My heart is burning, burning,
burning up from yearning
for my Ragtime Fireman.
