Hornsby Bruce Hot House Ball Lyrics

Hot House Ball Lyrics

We've lived around here most all of our lives

 Did most anything we wanted to do

 We will celebrate every 4th of July

 Just a little tamer than most of the rest of us do

 

 Don't light a match, don't play with fire

 Pull down easy on the gas lighter

 There's a shelter down at the veteran's hall

 Living in the shadow of the hot house ball

 

 We can dance in the streets any night or day

 The big ball men built such a nice old park

 One day we'll celebrate every Halloween

 Our faces as masks everyone glow in the dark

 

 Don't light a match, don't play with fire

 Step real lightly on the barbed wire

 Keep the noise down to hear the meltdown call

 Living in the shadow of the hot house ball

 

 Temper's hot, better pray for rain

 Better watch out now for the gamma rays

 Party time at the government gate

 

 Don't light a match, don't play with fire

 Pull down easy on the gas lighter

 There's a shelter down at the veteran's hall

 Living in the shadow of the hot house ball
