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’s 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 cooks in the kitchen burgers & chicken fried steak Yeah round 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       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 c-o-c-k 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
