Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing

[Verse 1]

Who's that stomping all over my face?

Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace?

Who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung?

And taking my gypsy before she's begun

[Pre-Chorus 1]

To sing in the meaning of what's in my mind

Before I can take home what's rightfully mine

Joining and a-listening and talking in rhymes

Stopping the feeling to wait for the time

[Chorus]

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing?

'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing

[Verse 2]

And who's all hung up on that happiness thing?

Who's trying to tune all the bells that he rings?

And who's in the corner and down on the floor

With pencil and paper just counting the score?

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Who's trying to act like he's just in-between?

The line isn't black if you know that it's green

Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see?

Who's coming on like he wanted to be

[Chorus]

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing?

'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing

[Verse 3]

And who's coming home on old ninety-five?

Who's got the feeling, yeah, to keep him alive?

Though having it, sharing it ain't quite the same

It ain't a gold nugget, you can't lay a claim

[Pre-Chorus 3]

Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor?

There it is, baby, don't you worry no more

Who should be sleeping, but's a-writing this song?

Wishing and a-hoping he weren't so damned wrong

[Chorus]

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing?

'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing

'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing
