I thought this was a really great song...
Clancy Lowered the Boom
sung by Dennis Day
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 nevertheless, when trouble would press, Clancy lowered the boom
Chorus:
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 around the neighborhood just shooting 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
Now Clancy left the barber shop with tonic on his hair
He walked into the poolroom and he met O'Riley there
O'Riley said, "For goodness sakes, now do I smell perfume?"
Before you could stack your cue on the rack, Clancy lowered the boom
Mulroney walked into the bar and ordered up a round
He left his drink to telephone and Clancy drank it down
Mulroney said, "Who drank me drink? I'll lay him in his tomb!"
Before you could pat the top of your hat, Clancy lowered the boom
O'Hoolahan delivered ice to Mrs. Clancy's flat
He'd always lingered 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 the day, Clancy lowered the boom
The neighbors all turned out for Kate O'Grady's wedding night
McDougal said, "Let's have some fun, I think I'll start a fight!"
He wrecked the hall and kissed the bride and pulverized the groom
Then quick as a wink, before you could think, Clancy lowered the boom
