  Never Join the Fire Brigade      Brian Prothrow       Album: I/You

  ===========================

  

     Capo at 3rd fret to play with record. For timing, think "Vaudeville".

  

             |<----Bar 1---->|    |<---Bar 2--->|

     Intro:  Bb / F / C / F7 /    Bb / C / F  C F

                                              |_|

  

          Am                                                E A

     When I was young and having fun and climing every tree

       Am                                   D                 G  (whistle)

     I filled my head with Ice Cream and my heart with Sandra Dee

         Am                                                   E A

     And then one day while I's at play I heard my Daddy sigh

        D                                      G                C

     He chewed his pipe and kicked the cat and looked me in the eye - he

  said:

  

  

     Chorus:

  

          F7         F7          Bb                  F7

     Keep neat, stay clean, your harmony likes to be seen

        F7        Fdim      Bb             C        F

     Go West, get laid, and never join the fire brigade

                                             Bb             C        F

     [play line 1 & 2 twice then]  No no no, never join the Fire Brigade

  

     [Intro]

  

        Am                                      E A

     In '68 while meditating on the cosmic bond

       Am                    D                   G

     I met a mystic Guru who waved the Wonderous Wand

       Am                                                      E A

     I said "Oh Mighty Master, won't you tell me what you see?"

        D                             G                   C

     He stuck a tulip up his nose and said these words to me - he said:

  

     [Chorus]

     [Solo over chorus]

     [Intro]

  

        Am                                                       E A

     So when you're glum and overcome and trouble's on your back

          Am                                    D                   G

     When fate has pricked your bubble and your silver cloud turned black

        Am                                                         E A

     To bite your shoe or drink hot glue will never bring you glee

        D                                   G              C   (slow

  arpegiate)

     So just before you hit the floor, just say this after me:

  

     [chorus several times]

  

  

  Brian Prothrow is a British stage actor who made one delightful album of

  funny, sing-along songs that reflect his vaudeville roots. A rare

  treasure.
