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.
