Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Clancy Lowered the Boom
Chorus (audience)
Oh that Clancy
Oh that Clancy
Whenever they got his Irish up
Clancy lowered the boom
Boom Boom Boom Boom
Boom Boom Boom Boom
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
Clancy left the barbershop
with tonic in his hair
he walked into the pool room
and he met O'Reilly there
O'Raille says, "For goodness sake
now do I smell perfume?"
before you could stack
your cue in the rack
Clancy lowered the boom CHORUS
Mulrooney walked into the bar
and ordered up a round
he left his drink to telephone
and Clancy drunk it down
Mulrooney say's, "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
O'Hallahan delivered ice
to Mrs. Clancy's flat
he'd always linger for a while
and talk or this and that
one day he kissed her
just as Clancy walked into the room
Before you could say
the time of the day
Clancy lowered the boom CHORUS
The neighborhood turned out
for Kate O'Grady's wedding night
Murphy says, "Let's have some fun!
I tink I'll start a fight!"
He wrecked the hall and kissed the bride
and pulverized the groom
before you could fling
your arm in a sling
Clancy lowered the boom CHORUS
* the are many variations
