Clancy's Tavern

VERSE 1:



Any minute the 5 o'clock crowd will be coming

Taps'll be flowing with beer

The cigarette smoke is soon to be risin'

And at 5:30 Clancy gets here



She knows all their faces, she's practically

raised them

And that why they're loyal and true

They'll pay their tabs, and that pays the light bill

And she keeps their glass full of brew



Chorus:

And the welders and the drivers

And the old nine to fivers and the regular Joe's

of the world

Are singing here's to you Clancy and your

neighborhood tavern

Pour me another my girl



There's a waitress named Lily, shows up at 7

To make sure their service is great

And there's a black dude named Elmo that

cooks in the kitchen

Burgers & chicken fried steak



Yeah around 9 o'clock the band will start

playing

And the music will fill up the air

Then they'll take a break every 45 minutes

And the jukebox takes over from there



Repeat Chorus



Steel Guitar & Fiddle Instrumental



It's 1:35, last call's upon us

It's time to settle the score

Won't you call me a cab and bring me a tab

And while you're at it, bring me one more



She's cleaned the last table and shined up the bar

It's late & everyone's gone

Then she'll cock her pistol and count all her money

Then drive that old Chrysler back home



Repeat Chorus



Yeah good night sweet Clancy

In your neighborhood tavern

We'll see you tommorow my girl
