Fingernails

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

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 Alabama

Well, I used to chew 'em off

I was nervous over you

I missed that clickin', tickin' sound

Honey, what I'm gonna do

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
