Don’t Hide – Go Right Outside

Oh! Lenny the fire truck – he’s our friend – he’s job is fire safety and he’s always said

In a fire emergency never hide – If you think you smell smoke go right outside

Time is important so always be quick – It doesn’t take long for a fire to spread

It can happen anytime day or night – So always have a plan to get outside

Now if there’s a fire always be brave – Do what you’re taught and you’re sure to be safe

The smoke may be thick and make you cough – And if it hurts your eyes do not rub

Stay low to the floor and never run – Leave everything behind just where it was

Don’t worry if it’s hot and you hear a lot of noise – Just keep moving on til you get outside

The rescues squad is on their way – So help the firefighters by doing what they say

Follow all the rules that get you outside and never turn around and go back inside

Oh! Lenny the fire truck he’s our friend – His job is fire safety and he’s always said

In a fire emergency never hide – If you think you smell smoke go right outside

Oh! Lenny the fire truck he’s our friend – His job is fire safety and he’s always said

In a fire emergency never hide – follow all the rules and go right outside

In a fire emergency never hide – follow all the rules and go right outside
