Clancy's Tavern

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yeah good night sweet Clancy

In your neighborhood tavern

We'll see you tommorow my girl
