Clancy's Tavern Lyrics

By Toby Keith
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
Chorus:
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
Key Change to D (C=D, G=A, Am=Bm, F=G)
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
Yeah, good night sweet Clancy in your neighborhood tavern, we'll see you tomorrow my girl
