 9-1-1, 9-1-1,
Help's on the way, help's on the way. If I need help, I know what to do, I can call the police and the firehouse, too, It makes me feel safe to know what to do. Dial 9-1-1. Sung to: "Down by the Station" Down at the firehouse Early in the morning, You can see our clothes Hanging in a row. When there is a fire, We can dress real fast. Boots, jackets, hats, gloves, Off we go! This little firefighter rings the bell, This little firefighter holds the hose so well, This little firefighter slides down the pole, This little firefighter chops a hole, This little firefighter climbs higher and higher, And all the firefighters put out the fire. Five police officers standing by a door, One became a traffic cop - Then there were four. Four police officers watching over me. One took home a lost boy, and then there were three Three police officers dressed all in blue; One stopped a speeding car, And then there were two. Two police officers - how fast they can run! One caught a robber, And then there was one. One police officer saw smoke faraway. He/she called the firehouse, And the firefighters came right away! Sung to: "Are you sleeping?" What is my job? What is my job? Can you guess? Can you guess? I help people get well. I help people get well. Who am I? Who am I? Other verses: I can fix the water pipes.I deliver letters.
