CLANCY LOWERED THE BOOM Lissy’s 2024 Shamrock version
Intro: Strum G
CHORUS
Oh, that Clancy, Oh, that Clancy
Whenever they got his Irish up, Clancy lowered the boom
Oh, that Clancy, Oh, that Clancy
Whenever they got his Irish up, Clancy lowered the boom
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom (Ending only) - Boom, Boom, Boom
1) 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
CHORUS
2) Joan O’Schmidt went to Pup’s and ordered up a round
She left her drink to telephone and Clancy drunk it down
Joanie says, who drunk me drink, I'll lay him in his tomb
Before you could pat the top of your hat, Clancy lowered the boom!
CHORUS
Sue King was a fighting gal, they all knew she was tough,
She strutted round the neighborhood shooting off her guff.
Sue picked a fight with Clancy, then and there she sealed her doom.
Before you could say, “Sue look out”, Clancy lowered the boom.
CHORUS
Clancy left the barbershop with tonic in his hair
He went to Phil’s to shoot some pool, and found the Garden Club there
Clancy says” For goodness sake, now do I smell perfume?”
Before you could stack your queue in the rack, Clancy lowered the boom.
CHORUS
