Hark I hear them calling for me fireman, oh fireman 
Hark I hear them calling for me hurry, hurry fireman 

I climb the Eucalyptus, bring her kitty back 
I climb the Douglas fir and bring her kitty back 
I climb the Juniper and bring her kitty back 
"How can I thank you for your bringing kitty back?" 

Here kitty, here kitty 
Here kitty, here kitty 
Here kitty, here kitty 
Here kitty, here kitty 

Climbing, climbing they exhort me 
Hurry, hurry fireman 
Crying, crying loud and softly 
Every cat's a crazy man 

I'm at your service, ma'am, and here's your kitty back 
I'm at your service ma'am, and here's your kitty back 
"How can I thank you for your bringing kitty back?" 
"How can I ever thank you, ever pay you back?" 

Here kitty, kitty, kitty 
Here kitty, here kitty 
Here kitty, kitty, kitty 
Here kitty, here kitty 
Here kitty, kitty, kitty 
Here kitty, here kitty 
Here kitty, kitty, kitty 
Here kitty, here kitty 

four-alarmer and the circus is ablaze 
Panicky [bad word] out madly through the haze 
I fight my way into the Big Top, wipe my eyes 
There stands a tiger trainer, lovely, hear her cry 
She points up to the high-wire, there a tiger stands 
"Oh help me, help me, bring my tiger down, dear man" 
"If you will save him, I will be yours every night" 
I climb the pole and look the tiger in the eye 
I climb the pole and look the tiger in the eye 

Here kitty, kitty, kitty 
Here kitty, here kitty 
Here kitty, kitty, kitty 
Here kitty, here kitty 
Here kitty, kitty, kitty 
Here kitty, here kitty 
Here kitty, kitty, kitty 
Here kitty, here kitty 

Cats have [bad word] a silent bargain with young women with no man 
Treat us, feed us royally, and tonight you'll have that man 

Though a lowly fireman, for tonight I am that man 

Virtue is its own reward, but tonight I am that man 

Virtue is its own reward, but tonight I am that man
