  • Oddfellows Local 151 behind the firehouse
    Where Peewee sits to prove a sage, to teach
    Peewee gathered up his proof, reached up to scratch his head
    Fell down and hit the ground again

    Firehouse
    Firehouse

    Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse
    Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach?
    This boy and girl that gather pearls of wisdom
    Falling from his mouth
    Wash off the blood, wash off the rum

    Firehouse
    Firehouse

    Oddfellows Local 151 behind the firehouse
    Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach
    This boy and girl that gather pearls of wisdom
    Falling from his mouth
    Wash off the blood, wash off the 151

    Firehouse
    Firehouse
    Firehouse
    Firehouse

    Ooh, ooh, ooh
