G
When you hear those bells go ding a ling

All join ‘round and sweetly you must sing

And when the verse is through, in chorus all join in
                       D7                                          G
There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight

G
Late last night when we were all in bed

Old mother Murphy hung a lantern in the shed

The cow knocked it over and this is what she said

                      D7                                          G
There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight

Fire!  -  Fire!  -  Fire!
