Come alla ya by'es come alla ya girls a rhyme to you I'll tell
About a fella from Newfoundland, ya might not know him well
the fella was burned in a fire one day, ever since then his life was changed
pull up a seat, spend some time and listen to Michael's rhyme

Fire hot water, and even the stove
matches and candlesticks, everyone knows
fryers and frying pans, leave'em alone
rock-a-bye baby too sleep
burners and lighters and gasoline cans
teapots and wee little hands
wee little faces and wee little hearts
should never be left alone

Now Michael's wondering what should he do
hide from the world or make everything new
he took off his mask, looked inside and tried to make everything good
for what is a b'ye and what is a girl who tries to hide away from the world
spread the word, don't be shy and listen to Michael's rhyme

Fire hot water, and even the stove
matches and candlesticks, everyone knows
fryers and frying pans, leave'em alone
rock-a-bye baby too sleep
burners and lighters and gasoline cans
teapots and wee little hands
wee little faces and wee little hearts
should never be left alone

Now Michael finally sees himself, perfect just like everyone else
happy and bright, filled with pride and abel to tell everybody his rhyme
so if you're ever near anything hot, coffee cups or bubbling pots
stay away and you'll be fine, remembering Michael's rhyme

Fire hot water, and even the stove
matches and candlesticks, everyone knows
fryers and frying pans, leave'em alone
rock-a-bye baby too sleep
burners and lighters and gasoline cans
teapots and wee little hands
wee little faces and wee little hearts
should never be left alone
