Fire Down Below
Here comes old Rosie, she's looking mighty fineHere comes hot Nancy, she's steppin' right on timeThere go the street lights bringin' on the nightHere come the men, faces hidden from the lightAll through the shadows they come and they goWith only one thing in commonThey got the fire down below
Here comes the rich man in his big long limousineHere comes the poor man all you got to have is greenHere comes the banker and the lawyer and the copOne thing for certain it ain't never gonna stopWhen it all gets too heavyThat's when they come and goWith only one thing in commonThey got the fire down below
It happens out in Vegas, happens in MolineOn the blue blood streets of BostonUp in Berkeley and out in QueensAnd it went on yesterday and it's going on tonightSomewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody rightAnd he's looking out for Rosie and she's looking mighty fineAnd he's walking the streets for NancyAnd he'll find her everytimeWhen the street light flicker bringing on the nightWell they'll be slipping into darkness slipping out of sightAll through the midnightWatch 'em come and watch 'em goWith only one thing in commonThey got the fire down below
