B E/G# A In a word to the wisdom tooth G B To tell, or not the truth (yeah) So open up and say ahh-men Rinse cup, and spit again A B Forked tongue in double speak A Pretty soon you just might B Spring a leak G A Inhale before you begin G B Your iron lung's a bag of wind Chorus: E A There's a fire in the hole C E Fire in the hole There's a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey) Fire Sweet 'n' sour, filiblister Faucet pouring, fresh 'n' bitter Come on smile and say cheese On a count of three Ya got a mindful of decavities Hey! Chew your words, lest you choke You better watch your mouth Wash it out with soap. Yeah! Tongue tied in a tangled web Your bile inside better left unsaid Chorus: There's a fire in the hole Fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey) There's a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey) Fire!
