(Words by Van Halen) 



In a word to the wisdom tooth

To tell, or not the truth (yeah)

So open up and say ahh-men

Rinse cup, and spit again



Forked tongue in double speak

Pretty soon you just might

Spring a leak

Inhale before you begin

Your iron lung's a bag of wind



There's a fire in the hole

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



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!

Ah, shoot it!



(Guitar Solo)



Hey-hey-yeah!

Huh!

Yeah!

Hey-hey-yeah!



(hey hey hey hey hey)

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 in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)



There's a fire, fire, fire

A fire!



Rudder of ship, which sets the course

Does not the bit, bridle the horse

Great is the forest, set by a small flame

Like a tongue on fire, no one can tame
