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,



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.
