Who's that stompin' all over my face

Where's that sillouhette I'm tryin' to trace

Who's puttin' sponge in the bells I once rung

and takin' my gypsy before she's begun



Just singin' and dreamin' of what's in my mind

Before I can take home what's rightfully mine

Joinin' and a listenin' and talkin' in rhyme

To stop at the feelin' to wait for the time



Who's sayin' "Baby, they don't mean a thing"

'cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing



And who's all hung up on that happiness thing

Who's tryin' to tune all the bells that he rings

Who's in the corner and down on the floor

With pencil and paper just countin' the score



Who's tryin' to act like he's just in between

The night isn't black if you know that it's green

Don't bother lookin', you're too blind to see

Who's comin' on like he wanted to be



Who's sayin' "Baby, they don't mean a thing"

'cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing



And who's comin' home on old 95

who's got the feelin' you're here to keep him alive

Though havin' and sharin' it ain't quite the same,

Paint a gold nugget you can't lay a claim



Who's seein' eyes through the crack in the floor

There it is baby don't you worry no more

who should be sleepin', but 's writin' this song

Wishin' and hopin' he works so damn long



Who's sayin', "Baby they don't mean a thing"

'cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing
