Intro:
Bm,
G7 Bm (x2), Bm
Verse 1:
Bm
Sane, sane, they're all insane,
Fireman's blind; the conductor is lame.
A Cincinnati jacket and a sad-luck dame,
Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain.
Chorus 1:
G7 Bm
Clap hands, clap hands.
G7 Bm
Clap hands, clap hands.
Verse 2:
Bm
Said; roar, roar, the thunder and the roar,
Son of a bitch is never coming 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.
Chorus 2:
G7 Bm
Clap hands, clap hands.
G7 Bm
Clap hands, clap hands.
Bridge 1:
G7 Bm
Said; steam, steam; a hundred bad dream,
G7 Bm
Going up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans.
G7 Bm
A fifty-dollar bill, iside a palladin's hat,
G7
And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at.
Verse 3:

Shine, shine, a Roosevelt dime,
All the way to Baltimore and running 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.
