Sane, sane, they're all insane
Fireman's blind, the conductor is lame
A Cincinnati jacket and 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 and the roar
Sumbitch is never comin' back here no more
The moon in the window and a bird on the pole
We can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal(2)
Clap hands
Clap hands
Clap hands
Clap hands
Said steam, steam, a hundred bad dreams
Goin' up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans
A fifty dollar bill inside a Paladin's(3) hat
And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's(4) at
Roar, roar, the thunder and the roar
Sumbitch is never comin' back here no more
Moon in the window and a bird on the pole
Always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal
Clap hands
Clap hands
Clap hands
Clap hands
I said steam, steam, with a hundred bad dreams
Goin' up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans
A fifty dollar bill inside a Paladin's hat
And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at
Shine, shine, a Roosevelt dime(5)
All the way to Baltimore and 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
Clap hands
Clap hands
Clap hands
Clap hands
Clap hands
Clap hands
Oh clap hands
Oh clap hands
Oh clap hands
Clap hands
