The Old Torquay Fire Brigade
Hooves striking the tram rails
Sparks flying up to the horses tails
The wagon of the Torquay fire brigade
It deserves a great accolade
A fire in the town
See the building burning down
Smoke up in the sky
Vicious flames
A despairing cry
The Torquay firemen quickly on the scene
With their engine powered by steam
A fire on the Strand at Slade's
Thank heavens for the fire brigade
A fire in the town
See the building burning down
Smoke up in the sky
Vicious flames
A despairing cry
Christened by the Mayoress in May
When it happened such a proud day
Firefly was a motor fire engine
The danger of fire is never ending
A fire in the town
See the building burning down
Smoke up in the sky
Vicious flames
A despairing cry
Sparks flying up to the horses tails
The wagon of the Torquay fire brigade
It deserves a great accolade
A fire in the town
See the building burning down
Smoke up in the sky
Vicious flames
A despairing cry
The Torquay firemen quickly on the scene
With their engine powered by steam
A fire on the Strand at Slade's
Thank heavens for the fire brigade
A fire in the town
See the building burning down
Smoke up in the sky
Vicious flames
A despairing cry
Christened by the Mayoress in May
When it happened such a proud day
Firefly was a motor fire engine
The danger of fire is never ending
A fire in the town
See the building burning down
Smoke up in the sky
Vicious flames
A despairing cry
