Why is a Fire Engine Red - Johnny Cash

When I was a little boy, my Daddy said, "Son, do you know why fire engine's red ?"

So I looked up to my Daddy and said, "No Sir, I don't know, why a fire engine's red".

And he said, "Repeat after me, and I'll tell you, why. Here goes:

'Cause a newspaper's read, too, - 'cause a newspaper's read, too,

two and two is four - two and two is four,

four times three is twelve - four times three is twelve,

twelve is the length of a ruler - twelve is the length of a ruler,

a ruler is Queen Mary - a ruler is Queen Mary,

Queen Mary is a ship - Queen Mary is a ship,

a ship sails the ocean - a ship sails the ocean,

the ocean has fish - the ocean has fish,

the fish has fins - the fish has fins,

the Finns fought the Russians - the Finns fought the Russians,

the Russians are red - the Russians are red

a fire engine's always rushin', so it's red, too ! Ha,ha,ha !
