Artist: Carpenters Album: Ticket To Ride (1998) Title: Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing
Lyrics Nowadays Clancy Can't Even SingSing, sing
Who's that stomping all over my face Where's that silhouette 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 listenin' and talkin' in rhymes Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times
Who's saying 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 trying to tune all the bells that he rings 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 line 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 baby, that don't mean a thing 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing Sing, sing
Who's coming home on the old nine to five Who's got the feeling here to keep him alive Though havin' it, sharin' it ain't quite the same It ain't no gold nugget, you can't lay a claim
Who's seeing 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 saying baby, that don't mean a thing 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing
Even sing, even sing |
