Didn't you see me dive in the river to save your little boy
He had gone in over his head, chasing a rubber toy
Well, I jumped in with my clothing on and oh how the river roared
What about my, what about my, what about, what about my reward
As I was a-walkin' on down the road heading for the corner bar
I saw a little girl step into the path of a rapidly-moving car
I shouted and I grabbed her just in time to save her from the speeding Ford
What about my, what about my, what about, what about my reward
What about my, what about my, what about, what about my reward
Sirens screaming, people too! Flames rolling up to the clouds
An old man looked from his firey window far above the crowd
And as he jumped, I turned away and prayed for his soul to The Lord
What about my, what about my, what about, what about my reward
What about my, what about my, what about, what about my reward
What about my, what about my, what about, what about my reward
