Verse 1:
  C majorC                FF
Oh Fergie McCormack was walking one day
    C majorC           FF
When he noticed a building on fire
    C majorC                 FF
And the screams of a lady could plainly be heard
    C majorC             G+G
As the building it smoldered even higher
    FF     C majorC    FF      C majorC
Oh the trembling lady was clutching a baby
    C majorC            FF
And the building was ten stories high
     C majorC                   FF
It could plainly be seen that both she and her baby
   C majorC     G+G       C majorC
Were certainly doomed for to die

Verse 2:
     C majorC                      FF
Well the firemen were there with their ropes and big ladders
       C majorC          FF
And they were holding a big trampoline
     C majorC                  FF
They were trying to entice this young lady to jump
  C majorC           G+G
But indeed she wasn't very keen
    FF      C majorC    FF       C majorC
For her baby was too small to survive such a fall
  C majorC            FF
And she then refused to let go
     C majorC                   FF
Oh, well what could they do? They were all in a stew
    C majorC     G+G      C majorC
As they helplessly gazed from below


{Verse 3}
   C majorC                FF
Well along came a hero, bold Fergie McCormack
     C majorC         FF
Says he, “Throw your baby to me!”
 C majorC                       FF
"Indeed I will catch it, and from death I will snatch it"
   C majorC            G+G
"And safe in me arms he will be”
    FF     C majorC      FF       C majorC
Oh his masculine arms and the big fullback's charms
   C majorC             FF
Laid down all this young lady's fears
    C majorC                        FF
As she cried, “Bless you Fergie!”, she tossed her baby over
  C majorC      G+G        C majorC
The side as her eyes filled with tears

Interlude:

{Verse 4}
     C majorC               FF
Well the rest of the story can long be remembered
  C majorC             FF
In history throughout all the land
    C majorC                   FF
As that baby came down and the crowd gathered round
   C majorC             G+G
Oh it landed safely in Fergie's arms
     FF      C majorC        FF      C majorC
“Oh, he's rescued the child!” said the crowd going wild
    C majorC             FF
But the excitement was clearly too much
    C majorC                    FF
As they all gazed in wonder, with a swift up-and-under
  C majorC      G+G     C majorC
He kicked forty meters to touch
