Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sin - Carpenters
Ho's that stompin' all over my face
Where's that sillhouette I'm trying to trace
And who's putting sponge
In the bells I once rung
And taking my gypsy before she's begun
Just singing and a dreaming of
What's in my mind
Before 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 saying maybe
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 trying to tune all the bells they ring
And who's in the corner and down on the floor
With pencil and paper just counting 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 looking you're too blind to see
Who's coming on like he wanted to be
Who's saying maybe
That don't mean a thing"
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing
Sing sing
Who's coming home on the old 9 to 5
Who's got the feeling here to keep him alive
Though havin' it sharin' it ain't quite the same
You painted it golden nugget you can't lay 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 's writing this song
Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong
Who's saying maybe
That don't mean a thing"
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing
Who's saying maybe
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing
Sing sing
