Fingernails Songtext
von Joe Ely

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
