Baby's on fire<br />
Better throw her in the water<br />
Look at her laughing<br />
Like a heifer to the slaughter<br />
<br />
Baby's on fire<br />
And all the laughing boys are bitching<br />
Waiting for photos<br />
Oh, the plot is so bewitching<br />
<br />
Rescuers row, row<br />
Do your best to change the subject<br />
Blow the wind blow, blow<br />
Lend some assistance to the object<br />
<br />
Photographers snip, snap<br />
Take your time, she's only burning<br />
This kind of experience<br />
Is necessary for her learning<br />
<br />
If you'll be my flotsam<br />
I could be half the man I used to<br />
They said you were hot stuff<br />
And that's what baby's been reduced to<br />
<br />
Juanita and Juan<br />
Very clever with maracas<br />
Making their fortunes<br />
Selling secondhand tobaccos<br />
<br />
Juan dances at Chico's<br />
And when the clients are evicted<br />
He empties the ashtrays<br />
And pockets all that he's collected<br />
<br />
But baby's on fire<br />
And all the instruments agree that<br />
Her temperature's rising<br />
But any idiot would know that
