Sung to: “I’m a little teapot”
I’m a little firefighter on the go,
Here is my helmet, here is my hose (point to head and put hands together like a hose)
When I see a fire (pretend to look),
Hear me SHOUT! (shout loud).
I turn the water on (pretend to turn water on),
And put the fire out (pretend to sweep hose back and forth).
SHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Louie Life guard acts so cool,
When he works down at the pool.
Sitting on his chair so high,
Watching all the folks go by.
But he always stays alert.
To make sure no one gets hurt.

Can you hear the siren? (Cup right hand to ear.)
Listen to it scream!
Can you hear the fire bell? (Cup left hand to ear.)
Do you know what they mean?
Here come the firefighters. (Run in place.)
Listen to them shout! (Cup hands around mouth.)
Pour on water! Pour on water! (With mouth cupped, shout this.)
Put the fire out! (Shout and pretend to squirt water from hose.)

It makes me feel swell.

With my star,
I help people
Near and far.
If you have a problem,
Call on me,
And I will be there
One, two, three!

With my star,
I help people

Get the phone
And I’ll be there

All around the neighborhood,
People help each other.
The driver on the bus,
Helps a girl and her mother.
The girl and her mother,
See the butcher for meat.
The butcher gives a letter,
To the carrier down the street.
The carrier asks the barber,
To trim his mustache.
The barber sweeps the hair up,
And puts out all the trash.
The trash collector stops,
When a fire truck clangs its bell.
Firefighters join the police,
Who make sure all is well.
All around the neighborhood,
There’s lots that people do.
All around the neighborhood,
Who helps you?

We Need a Plumber

Sung to: “Yankee Doodle”
Pipes can carry water to
The bathroom or the kitchen.
But when the pipes aren’t working, then
A plumber has to fix them.
When the sink is backing up,
When the faucet’s drippy,
When the toilet just won’t flush,
We need a plumber quickly!

Doctor Day

My father said, “It’s doctor day,”
Then he and I were on our way,
To see our friend, the doctor who,
Would check me out, as doctors do.
She had more things, than I can tell,
To help her keep the people well.
She checked me up and all the while,
She wore a big and friendly smile.
So now I hope that someday you,
May go to see the doctor too!

Five police officers, standing by the store,
One directed traffic, and then there were four.
Four police officers, watching over me,
One took home a lost girl, 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 bank robber, and then there was one.
One police officer, standing in the sun,
Sun went down, he went home, and then there were none.
