"Firecracker"

[Chorus:]
Firecracker, I heard you callin' me
Firecracker, that suits me to a T
A tiny stick of dynamite, laced with TNT
I'm a firecracker, hot as I can be

Now, I'll explode if you insist on lightin' up my fuse
If you ignore the danger of breakin' all my rules
A ragin' fire can be ignited from a tiny spark
If you don't pay attention, all hell can blow apart

I'm full of fire and passion, wound tight and aim to please
But if you wanna play with fire, be mindful and take heat
Standin' up for who I am and all that I believe
Is makin' me a firecracker, that's just what I'll be

[Chorus:]
Firecracker, if you can't take the heat
Firecracker, just stay away from me
That pretty much sums it up
So handle cautiously

[Post-Chorus:]
I'm a hunk-a hunk-a burnin' stuff
And you'll feel the burn from me
Thank you very much!

[Bridge:]
Boom, boom, bang, bang
Pow, pow, pow
I will blow up in your face right here and right now
Handle with care, with respectability
You can lose a finger if you're pointin' it at me!
Firecracker, yeah, you can call me that
Firecracker, 'cause I will fight you back
And I'm not out for trouble
But if it comes around
I'll go at you tooth and nail
There'll be no backin' down

[Chorus:]
Firecracker, more than proud to be
Firecracker, that suits me to a T
A little stick of dynamite, laced with TNT
Firecracker, as hot as I can be

Yodel-lady, yodel-lady, hee-hee, hee-hee, hee-hee

Boom, boom, bang, bang
Pow, pow, pow
I will blow up in your face right here and right now

[Chorus:]
Firecracker, handle cautiously
Firecracker, now, don't you mess with me
Firecracker, full of TNT
Firecracker, just as hot as I can be

[Outro:]
Firecracker
Hey, don't you mess me 'cause I'm full of P and V
Firecracker, yodel-lady, yodel-lady
Firecracker, a little stick of dynamite full of TNT
Frickercracker, hey, don't you mess, don't you mess
Don't you mess with me
