He always liked to play with fire
Michael worked as a fireman, his friends all called him Mikey
he wasn't tall he wasn't strong, but his hair was really spikey
his daddy always picked on him: "you'll never be a man!"
but Michael knew it all along "I'll show you when I can!
and his mum remembered what he always did
his favourite game, when he was a kid
He always liked to play with fire (4x)
No cinema, no shopping mall, he couldn’t be to picky
finding entertainment in his town was pretty tricky
while looking for something to do he realized one day
the old storage house on miller street had always blocked the way
and his mum remembered what he always did
his favourite game, when he was a kid
(4x)
the girls had always found that Michael smelled a little yucky
to make it short, when it came to love he wasn't really lucky
so is mum was the only one to cry when it read on the newspaper stand
Mike was caught the other night with his matches in his hand
and she remembered what he always did
his favourite game, when he was a kid
He always liked to play with fire (4x)
