 When the night is cold and the hours are long,

 I think upon good times now long since gone,

 But no memory pleases me more to recall,

 Than the night that dear Willy came out on a crawl

  (stop

He was eighteen for a few hours more,

 I fed him some whisky as he walked through my door

 The sounds of a house-party rolled down the street

 So we pounded a Pilsner and leapt to our feet.

 Oh he had his filling

 Tequila swilling

 Oh he put out the flames

 And it earned him the name

Fire Marshall Willy

Oh we led him away to the depths of the house

With Jose Cuervo and Old Famous Grouse

He took 15 shots in the blink of an eye

Fell onto the porch by the BBQ side

And they told him just sit down instead

Do touch that extinguisher shiny and red

But William was drunk as I've ere seen a man

And so the insanity surely began

Oh he had his filling

Tequila swilling

Oh he put out the flames

And it earned him the name

Fire Marshall Willy HO!

Intro B chords -> solo (all right Willy!) Intro B chords -> solo

Aw, 10 minutes later he flashed me a smile

There wasn't combustion within 20 miles

He'd hosed every chap in the whole fucking place

And threw his cold water right in Chelsea's face

 When the night is cold and the hours are long,

 I think about good times now long since gone,

 But no memory gives me more pleasure than

  (extra bar of )

Than the night that dear Willy became a new man

Oh he had his filling

Tequila swilling

Oh he put out the flames

And it earned him the name

Fire Marshall Willy

Oh he had his filling } just bass and

Tequila swilling } accordion

Oh he put out the flames

And it earned him the name

Fire Marshall Willy

 Oh he put out the flames

 And it earned him the name

Fire Mar-shall Willy HO!
