Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing

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?

Taking my gypsy before she's begun?

Just singing the meaning of what's in my mind

Before I can take home what's rightfully mine

Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes

Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the time

Who said baby that don't mean a thing?

'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing

Who's all hung-up on that happiness thing?

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

Who's in the corner and down on the floor?

With pencil and paper just counting the scorе?

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

Thе night 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?

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

'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing

And who's coming home on old 95?

Who's got the feeling here to keep him alive?

Though havin' it, sharin' it, ain't quite the same

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

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

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

Who should be sleepin' but is writing this song?

Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong

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
