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
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
Oh, when I used to chew 'em off
Nervous over you
I missed that clickin', tickin' sound
Honey, what I'm gonna do
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 Amarillo
Oh, when I used to chew 'em off
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
