In Lexington they're going to burn The Library of Congress for charity Round it's funeral pyre the flames will churn As night and winter's darkness spurn And threaten with their clarity See the flames they're burning up Burning so bright, Fahrenheit Fahrenheit 451 Fahrenheit 451 The fun has just begun, Fahrenheit 451 Oh see the pages all catching fire See the building shimmering now It was like this when witches reared Against the stake, we stood and peered At such Aladin's caves of air Oh I wish you could have seen us there Spreading all around that funeral pyre Watching the flames burn higher and higher Fahrenheit 451, Fahrenheit 451 The fun has just begun, Fahrenheit 451 Fahrenheit 451, Fahrenheit 451 The burning has just begun It's like a mushroom cloud on a sun Fahrenheit 451 The fire's fierce theatre draws herds of folk All willing to be hypnotised Anemones of flames and smoke Enchant us so we gladly choke Fahrenheit 451, Fahrenheit 451 The fun has just begun, Fahrenheit 451
