Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing Songtext
One, two
Sing
Sing
Who′s that stompin' all over my face?
Where′s that silhouette I'm tryin' to trace?
And who′s putting sponge in the bells I once rung?
And taking my gypsy before she′s begun?
Just singin' and a-dreamin′ of what's in my mind
′Fore I can take home what's rightfully mine
Joinin′ and a-listenin' and talkin' in rhymes
Stoppin′ the feeling to wait for the times
Who′s sayin' baby, that don′t mean a thing?
'Cause nowadays, Clancy can′t
Even sing
Sing
Sing
Who's all hung-up on that happiness thing?
Who′s tryin' to tune all the bells that he rings?
And who's in the corner and down on the floor
With pencil and paper just countin′ the score?
Who′s trying to act like he's just in between?
The night isn′t black if you know that it's green
Don′t bother lookin', you′re too blind to see
Who's comin' on like he wanted to be?
Who′s sayin′ baby, that don't mean a thing?
′Cause nowadays, Clancy can't
Even sing
Sing
Sing
Who′s comin' home on the old nine-to-five? (Who′s comin' home)
Who's got the feeling here to keep him alive?
Though havin′ it (havin′ it), sharin' it (sharin′ it) ain't quite the same
It ain′t a gold nugget, you can't lay a claim
Who′s seein' eyes through the cracks 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 sayin′ baby, that don't mean a thing?
′Cause nowadays, Clancy can't even sing
Who's sayin′ baby, that don′t mean a thing
'Cause nowadays, Clancy can′t
Even sing
(Even sing)
