lyrics

=================================================

Sane, sane they're all insane
The fireman's blind & the conductor is lame
A Cincinatti jacket & a sad luck dame
Hangin' out the window with a bottle full of rain

Clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands

Said roar, roar the thunder & the roar
Son of a bitch is never comin' back here no more
Moon in the window & a bird on the pole
You can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal

Clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands

I said steam, steam a hundred bad dreams
Goin' up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans
A fifty-dollar bill inside in Palladin's hat
And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at . . .

Said roar, roar the thunder & the roar
Son of a bitch is never comin' back here no more
Moon in the window & a bird on the pole
You can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal

Clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands

Shine, shine a Roosevelt dime
All the way to Baltimore & runnin' out of time
Salvation Army seemed to wind up in the hole
They all went to heaven in a little row boat

Clap hands, clap hands

I said steam, steam a hundred bad dreams
Goin' up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans
A fifty-dollar bill inside in Palladin's hat
And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at . . .

Shine, shine a Roosevelt dime
All the way to Baltimore; they're runnin' out of time
Salvation Army seems to wind up in the hole
They all went to heaven in a little row boat

Clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands
