It's an old song called "the roof is on fire" by Rockmaster Scott & The Dynamic Three. The full chorus goes

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
We don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn.

You will also hear this in the Bloodhound Gang's single called "Fire Water Burn".
Keep your headphones on.

I have that concert on cassette tape somewhere. The thing plays too fast, though. The person who recorded it must have had bad batteries in their tape recorder or something. hehe!
