Nowadays Clancy Can`t Even Sing — текст песни (The Carpenters)

Sing, sing



Who`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?



Repeat (*)



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



Repeat (*) twice
