A classic from way before our time. UA-cam is amazing for it's got everything publicly known from every period and from every country.

I’m 65 and our teacher made us learn square dancing for our chapel program. This was one of the songs! Lol. I also read a scripture from the Bible for that chapel

[@jeanette590]

I’m 56 and grew up near Chicago. Something triggered my memory and I had to come find this song. I just remember singing then yelling FIRE FIRE FIRE!

"The Big Flame Up", a Famous "Follow The Dancing Ball" cartoon from 1949 brought me here.

"One dark night
While we were all in bed
Pa left the lantern burnin' in the shed
The milk cow kicked it over
winked her eye and said
it's gonna be a hot time in old town tonight."

[@edmondscott7444]
