Note: lyrics in bold are not in the video version.
Putting on your black boots
(Putting on your black boots)
Fire resistant jacket
(Fire resistant jacket)
Hard protective helmet
(Hard protective helmet)
Dressed and waiting for the bell to the ring.
(New York firefighter)
Riding on the engine to the scene
(This is fun!)
(New York firefighter)
Putting out fires
As fast as we can
Climbing up the ladders
(Climbing up the ladders)
Sliding down the poles
(Sliding down the poles)
(Wheee!)
Checking all the hoses
(Checking all the hoses)
We're getting ready to go, go, go
(Let's go guys!)
(New York firefighter)
Riding on the engine to the scene
(New York firefighter)
Putting out fires
As fast as we can.
Oh no, everybody, Jeff's fallen asleep,
we better wake him up. You have to be awake
to be a New York firefighter. Are you ready?
One, two, three. Wake up Jeff!
Where's the fire?
Ha-hay!
(New York firefighter)
Riding on the engine to the scene
(This is fun!)
(New York firefighter)
Putting out fires
As fast as we can
Sleeping at the firehouse
(Sleeping at the firehouse)
Until the bell rings
(Wake up, Jeff!)
(Where’s the fire?)
(Until the bell rings)
Turning on the siren
(Turning on the siren)
Better move when you hear it sing
(New York firefighter)
Riding on the engine to the scene
(This is fun!)
(New York firefighter)
Putting out fires
As fast as we can
Jeff, wake up!
Where's the fire?
Here we go!
Ha-ha!

Trivia[]
- The video version omits Jeff and Anthony's spoken parts during the instrumental break and at the end.
- The song is played on the Missing Hats Game after selecting the right hat for Murray.
- A running gag for this song is every time Jeff is awoken from his sleep, he says "Where's the fire?".
- The song is rewritten as Volunteer Firefighter.
