Lyrics
Bonfire
Words and Music by Gary Lee Morris
A part of our history is interesting, you see
I?ll tell you ?bout the bonfire, a clever strategy
I?ll tell you ?bout pirates, they came up with the plan
To capture ships on the ocean without leaving the land
Bonfire!
Run for safety
Pirates on the horizon, coming after me
Bonfire!
Flee, Flee, Flee
No safe harbor, it?s a trick you see
It started with ?Wreck Hill?, many centuries ago
They would light a bonfire, tell the ships to go
Into a safe harbor, but what awaited them there
Wasn?t such a warm welcome, it was a snare
Chorus
What happened to them now, could happen to you and me
If you see a bonfire, treat it cautiously
Listen to my message, I speak from experience
Bonfire is burning my dollars and cents!
