I keep my fingernails long
So they Click when I play the piano
I keep my fingernails long
So they Click when I play the piano
I`m gonna keep `em that way
Till the Swallows get back from Texarkana.
I keep my fingernails long
So they Click when I play the piano
I keep my fingernails long
So they Click when I play the piano
I`m gonna keep `em that way
Till the Swallows get back from Louisiana.
Well, I used to chew `em off
I was Nervous over you.
I missed that clickin`, tickin` sound,
Honey, what I`m gonna do,
Is keep my fingernails long
So they Click when I play the piano
I keep my fingernails long
So they Click when I play the piano
I`m gonna keep `em that way
Till the Swallows get back from Alabama.
