It roared through the tree tops, it crept through the grass
Then burned the roots underground to make one more pass
This fire was greedy, it wanted more than just trees
Maybe a house and a barnyard with some hay if you please
Then the neighbors showed up and knew just what to do
There would be no charred house or burnt barnyard
or huge beef barbeque
They came with tanks full of water, pumps, shovels and hoses
and they held back the flames like the Red Sea and Moses
A summer to forget or remember, whatever you choose
Thank God you all did what you did, there was so much to lose
So sit back and relax and enjoy this pink brew
It’s just a small token of thanks from the Philips to you!
