Lyrics[]

Series 1-4 version[]

When he hears the fire bell chime,
Fireman Sam is there on time.
Putting on his coat and hat,
In less than seven seconds flat.
He's always on the scene, Fireman Sam.
And his engine's bright and clean, Fireman Sam.
You cannot ignore,
Sam is the hero next door.
Driving down the busy streets,
Greeting people that he meets.
Someone could be in a jam
So hurry, hurry, Fireman Sam.
He's always on the scene, Fireman Sam.
And his engine's bright and clean, Fireman Sam.
You cannot ignore,
Sam is the hero next door.

So hurry, hurry, Fireman Sam.
He's always on the scene, Fireman Sam.
And his engine's bright and clean, Fireman Sam.
You cannot ignore,
Sam is the hero next door.

Full theme version[]

When he hears that fire bell chime,
Fireman Sam is there on time.
Putting on his coat and hat,
In less than seven seconds flat.
He's always on the scene.
Fireman Sam!
And his engine's bright and clean.
Fireman Sam!
You cannot ignore,
Sam is the hero next door.
Driving down the busy streets,
Greeting people that he meets.
Someone could be in a jam,
So, hurry hurry Fireman Sam.
So move aside and make way.
Fireman Sam!
'Cos he's gonna save the day.
Fireman Sam!
He's the one we adore.
Sam is the hero next door.
When he's fighting fires,
He's always cool and calm.
And everyone admires,
When there's a fire alarm.
The way he never tires,
He always sees it through
And that's true.
Hey!
So move aside and make way.
Fireman Sam!
'Cause he's gonna save the day.
Fireman Sam!
He's the one we adore.
Sam is the hero next door.
If your kite's caught in a tree,
Sam will climb and set it free.
If you're stuck give him a shout.
Sam will always help you out.
Hooray for Fireman Sam!
He's always brave and strong.
Hooray for Fireman Sam!
And when there's something wrong.
He'll always be along
To help both you and me
Don't you see.
He's always on the scene.
Fireman Sam!
And his engine's bright and clean.
Fireman Sam!
You cannot ignore,
Sam is the hero next door.
Everybody knows
Fireman Sam.
Dressed in his fireman's clothes.
Fireman Sam!
Well, we've seen him before.
Sam is the hero next door.
So move aside and make way.
Fireman Sam!
'Cause he's gonna save the day.
Fireman Sam!
He's the one we adore.
Sam is the hero next door.
He's always on the scene.
Fireman Sam!
And his engine's always bright and clean.
Fireman Sam!
You cannot ignore,
Sam is the hero next door.
Come on, Sam!
Fireman Sam!

German Series 1-5 version[]

Wenn er die Sirene hört,
Dann fühlt Sam sich nicht gestört,
Wenn die plötzlich was passiert,
Kommt er sofort garantiert!
Bewundert und beliebt
ist Feuerwehrmann Sam,
weil es ihn nur einmal gibt.
Sucht ihr im Ort
nach dem tapfersten Mann,
Sam wohnt gleich nebenan.
Pontypandys Feuerwehr,
Ohne Sam verloren wär'.
Aber auch die ganze Crew
rettet, löscht und packt fest zu.
Bewundert und beliebt
ist Feuerwehrmann Sam,
weil es ihn nur einmal gibt.
Sucht ihr im Ort nach dem tapfersten Mann,
Sam wohnt gleich nebenan.

Trivia[]

  • The CGI series version is shortened to 30 seconds, except at the beginnings of hour long specials where the full version of the new theme song, as heard in Series 5, is used.
  • The theme song got dubbed in most languages, but some dubs had the theme song in English. The Korean dub of the Series 5, the intro is shortened to 30 seconds and starts halfway through the intro.
  • In the Italian and Hebrew dubs, the 1987 theme is played over the 2003 introduction and credits sequence.
  • The Polish version of the 1987 theme is played in a completely different arrangement, with the singer out of sync with the music.
  • The Croatian version of the 1987 theme (early version) features a female singer singing about the show's backstory on both the opening and the credits.
    • The later version would be the same as the normal version, with different lyrics and different singers.
  • The Slovak version of the 1987 theme uses a synth piano cover of the original instrumental, but in later versions it uses the original theme.
  • The British music duo Pound Shop Boys did a cover of the Fireman Sam theme in 2017 which combines the lyrics of the original Series 1-4 theme and the Series 5/movie theme.
  • In the Series 5 intro Norman is shown as having got his head stuck in the park's fence, similar to how he got stuck in Norman's Tricky Day, however this was not actually seen in any episode. It is possible that this idea was either later retooled for Dusty in Joker Soaker (or maybe even a deleted scene for the episode) or was intended as a reference to the original series.
  • The Series 12 version is sped up to 1.05 speed.
  • From Series 13 onwards, there are no lyrics during the closing credits.
  • From Series 14 onwards, the intro consists of renaming the song as the rescue team, scenes of Krystyna are shown, as well as the new introduction of the fire brigade's uniform. And at the end of the intro, Ben, Arnold and Tom are replaced by Krystyna, Malcom and Sgt Ravani with Kilo and Shadow.
  • From Series 14 there are no sound effects or intro exclusive scenes during the theme, but short clips from the previous and current season.
  • In the Series 5 intro, a cereal box can be seen which closely resembles Kellogg's Corn Flakes.
  • From Heroes of the Storm onwards, the theme received a brand new guitar arrangement plus other instruments in a modernisation attempt.

Goofs[]

  • In the Original intro (Series 1 - 4) Sam drives off from his house in Jupiter, but he leaves the front door open due to slipping on Norman's Skateboard.
  • In the Series 5 intro as Sam is driving Jupiter down the main street of Pontypandy during the line "...Fireman Sam! 'Cause he's gonna save the day!...", if one looks closely it can be seen that Jupiter's lights do not flash at the correct rate near the end of the shot.
  • In the first CGI intro (Series 6 - 7) when Sam, Elvis, and Radar left with Jupiter, two goofs accrue;
    • Jupiter's Pontypandy Fire Service logo is missing.
    • Penny's helmet could not be seen on the shelf even though she did not go to an emergency.
    • Both of these goofs were corrected in the Series 8 - 9 intro.
  • During the shot where Wallaby 1 and Jupiter are both moving at the same time in the series 6-9 intro, one of Jupiter's lockers is wide open.
