Fire Won't Start Lyrics

Now, down south in the little old town of I-Don't-Know-the-Name,

A party had convened, in reasonable hopes of watching the game

A recently paid bill would make it understandable to expect

That John R. Swain would have access to his box TV set

Between Johnny and his friend Benny Tanner, their became a fight

The event that would cause the ruining of both of their nights

A waved hand would signal the beginning of Benny's growing ire

And knock over a can of beer onto Johnny's TV wire

Oh, the fire won't start

Warm me up, before you break my heart

Now when you're in a situation as such, and your group is going haywire

I propose the great idea of starting a bonfire

It'd be fun to make s'mores, everyone would get into it

But not if Johnny's only lighter was out of lighter fluid

Oh, the fire won't start

Warm me up, before you break my heart

"David, you got a lighter on you?"

"No, but I think Roger's got one"

"I think I got one in my car, if you want me to check"

"Benny I asked Dave, I'll let you know if I need a power grid shut down"

"Johnny, I said I'd pay for the repairs if you want me to"

"I don't want your money, I want a proper apology"

"He has got a point"

"Johnny started it, I ain't apologizing for nothing"

"Benjamin, calm down"

"I am calm"

"Just say you're sorry and it'll be over with"

"I don't want us to hate each other over this, I just need a lighter"

"Roger, you got one?"

"Yeah, I'll go get that"

"Jeez, Benny, it's just one sorry, how bad can it be?"

"Man, shut up, man"

"Johnny, I'm sorry, I gotta admit, I was wrong"

"Look, Benny, I'm sorry too, I messed up"

"Come here, man, I forgive you, don't worry about it"

"I forgive you too"

"Guess who's got his lighter"

"Hey! Thanks man!"

"Now who brought the marshmallows?"

"Dag gummit!"

Oh, the fire won't start

Warm me up, before you break my heart
