Why is a Fire Engine Red - Johnny Cash
When I was a little boy, my Daddy said, "Son, do you know why fire engine's red ?"
So I looked up to my Daddy and said, "No Sir, I don't know, why a fire engine's red".
And he said, "Repeat after me, and I'll tell you, why. Here goes:
'Cause a newspaper's read, too, - 'cause a newspaper's read, too,
two and two is four - two and two is four,
four times three is twelve - four times three is twelve,
twelve is the length of a ruler - twelve is the length of a ruler,
a ruler is Queen Mary - a ruler is Queen Mary,
Queen Mary is a ship - Queen Mary is a ship,
a ship sails the ocean - a ship sails the ocean,
the ocean has fish - the ocean has fish,
the fish has fins - the fish has fins,
the Finns fought the Russians - the Finns fought the Russians,
the Russians are red - the Russians are red
a fire engine's always rushin', so it's red, too ! Ha,ha,ha !
