OK, everybody 
If you could take that sign 
And plant it in that yard 
You can try to gain approval from your peers 
Community of leers
Another house on fire 
Now please present solutions to real fears 
Fire 'em up, now!

Now put some work into me 
And blow some life into me 
Don't forget to catch the (pit?) real nice 
Spread the heavyweights all over the place 
In the paper, in the paper, in the paper, in the paper 
Do not see the angels going easy to (clear real ice?) 
Fire 'em up, now!

Fire 'em up, it's Abner, let's echo now
Fire 'em up parading, tall and proud 
Fire 'em up for (magnets?) laying down 
Fire 'em up _______ (for boy and clown?) 
Ohhhhhh......

If you could take that sign 
And plant it in that yard 
You can try to gain approval from your peers 
Community of leers
Another house on fire 
Now please present solutions to real fears

Fire 'em up, it's Abner, let's echo now
Fire 'em up parading, tall and proud 
Fire 'em up for (magnets?) laying down 
Fire 'em up _______ (for boy and clown?) 
Ohhhhhh......
