Leaves Are Falling Round the Town
(sung to Twinkle, Twinkle)

Leaves are falling round the town,
Watch them fall right on the ground.
Autumn's coming, it is true,
Then comes winter just for you.
Leaves are falling round the town,
Falling, falling all around.

I'm a Firefighter
(sung to Here We Got Round the Mulberry Bush)
 

This is the way I pull on my boots,
pull on my boots, pull on my boots,
This is the way I pull on my boots,       
I'm a fire fighter.

This is the way I drive the fire truck,
drive the fire truck, drive the fire truck,
This is the way I drive the fire truck,
I'm a fire fighter.

This is the way I fasten the hose,
fasten the hose, fasten the hose,
This is the way I fasten the hose,
I'm a fire fighter.

This is the way I climb the ladder,
climb the ladder, climb the ladder,
This is the way I climb the ladder,
I'm a fire fighter.

This is the way I squirt the water,
squirt the water, squirt the water,
This is the way I squirt the water,
I'm a fire fighter.
