about

This song has rolled around my brain at least a couple of times every year since I was a kid. It comes whenever I find myself in over my head with some kind of trouble.

lyrics

Baby's on fire,
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing,
Like a heifer to the slaughter
Baby's on fire,
And all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photos,
Oh the plot is so bewitching
Rescuers row row,
Do your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow blow,
Lend some assistance to the object
Photographers snip snap,
Take your time she's only burning
This kind of experience,
Is necessary for her learning
If you'll be my flotsam,
You could be half the man you used to
They said you were hot stuff
And that's what Baby's been reduced to..

Juanita and Juan,
Very clever with maracas
Making their fortunes,
Selling second-hand tobaccos
Juan dances at Chico's,
And when the clients are evicted
He empties the ashtrays,
And pockets all that he's collected
But Baby's on fire,
And all the instruments agree that
Her temperature's rising,
But any idiot could see that.
