Pa's got the fireworks,
and Ma's got the hose.
Billy Joe's standing back,
waiting for the show.
Jim Bob's playin' with a sparkler,
the dog's chasin' his tail,
Pa's gettin' his lighter,
ready to let the first firecracker sail.
Everything was going without a hitch,
til a firecracker landed on the pile of leaves in the ditch.
Ma tried to put it out.
She sprayed for all she was worth,
but a water hose is no match
for a firecracker come to Earth.
The fire got bigger.
All the neighbors came to see.
When the firefighters got there,
they found them having a jamboree.
"You people are crazy," a firefighter shouted,
pushing his way through the group to get to the fire.
He didn't make it very far though,
cause he fell over Pa who was sittin' on a stack of tires...
