Clancy Lowered The Boom

Now Clancy was a peaceful man if you know what I mean
The cops picked up the pieces after Clancy left the scene
He never looked for trouble, that's a fact you can assume
But nevertheless, when trouble would press, Clancy lowered the boom

Oh, the Clancy
Oh, the Clancy
Whenever they got his Irish up, Clancy lowered the boom
(Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)

O'Leary was a fightin' man, they all knew he was tough
He strutted 'round the neighborhood just shootin' off his guff
He picked a fight with Clancy, then and there he sealed his doom
Before you could shout "O'Leary, look out", Clancy lowered the boom

Oh, the Clancy
Oh, the Clancy
Whenever they got his Irish up, Clancy lowered the boom
(Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)

Clancy left the barber shop with tonic on his hair
He walked into the pool room and he met O'Reilly there
O'Reilly said, "For goodness sakes, now do I smell perfume?"
Before you could stack your cue on the rack, Clancy lowered the boom

Oh, the Clancy
Oh, the Clancy
Whenever they got his Irish up, Clancy lowered the boom
(Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)

Mulrooney walked into the bar and ordered up a round
He left his drink to telephone and Clancy drank it down
Mulrooney said, "How drunk me drink, I'll lay him in his tomb"
Before you could tap the top of your hat, Clancy lowered the boom

Oh, the Clancy
Oh, the Clancy
Whenever they got his Irish up, Clancy lowered the boom
(Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)

The neighbors all turned out for Kate O'Grady's weddin' night
McDougal said, "Let's have some fun now, I think I'll start a fight"
He wrecked the hall, then kissed the bride, then pulverized the groom
Then quick as a wink, before he could think, Clancy lowered the boom

Oh, the Clancy
Oh, the Clancy
Whenever they got his Irish up, Clancy lowered the boom
Oh, the Clancy
Oh, the Clancy
Whenever they got his Irish up, Clancy lowered the boom
(Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)
Clancy lowered the boom
