Clancy Lowered the Boom

Now 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 never-the-less when trouble would press
Clancy lowered the boom!

Oh, that Clancy, Oh that Clancy
Whenever they got his Irish up
Clancy lowered the boom!

O'Leary was a fighting man
They all knew he was tough
He strutted ′round the neighborhood
A-shootin' off his guff
He picked a fight with Clancy
Then and there he sealed his doom
Before you could shout "O'Leary, look out!"
Clancy lowered the boom!

Oh, that Clancy, Oh that Clancy
Whenever they got his Irish up
Clancy lowered the boom!

O′Hollihan delivered ice
To Misses Clancy′s flat
He'd always linger for a while
To talk of this and that
One day he kissed her
Just as Clancy walked into the room
Before you could say the time of day
Clancy lowered the boom!

Oh, that Clancy, Oh that Clancy
Whenever they got his Irish up
Clancy lowered the boom!

Sure it was the most beautiful sight you ever did see
When Clancy Lowered The Boom
