VERSE 1: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 practicallyraised them |
|
And that 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'sof the world |
|

|
Clancy and yourneighborhood tavern |
|
Pour me another my girl |
|

|
Lily, shows up at 7 |
|
To make sure their service is great |
|
And there's a black dude named |
|
Elmo thatcooks in the kitchen |
|
Burgers & chicken fried steak |
|
Yeah around 9 o'clock the band will startplaying |
|
And the music will fill up the air |
|

|
And the jukebox takes over from there |
|
Repeat Chorus |
|
Steel Guitar & |
|
Fiddle Instrumental |
|

|

|
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 cock her pistol and count all her money |
|
Then drive that old |
|
Chrysler back home |
|
Repeat Chorus |
|
