Clyde Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(J. J. Cale) 

Clyde played electric bass 

Played it with finesse and grace 

Sat on the porch ain't got no shoes 

Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues 

Misery loves company 

That ol' dog sings harmony 

Tambourine tied to his tail 

You can hear him howl, you can hear him wail 

C'mon Clyde 

Clyde played electric bass, Clyde played electric bass 

Clyde played electric bass, electric bass 

Electric bass 

C'mon Clyde, C'mon Clyde 

Pickin' the bass 'n' singin' the blues 

Singin' the blues, singin' the blues, singin' the blues 

Yeah yeah yeah yeah 

Oh Yeah 

Geordie girl she got the dollar 

Down the road you can hear her holler 

C'mon Clyde there's things that need doin' 

Clyde keeps pickin' and singin' the blues 

He don't care 

Clyde played electric bass 

Played it with finesse and grace 

Sat on the porch ain't got no shoes 

Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues 

C'mon Clyde, c'mon Clyde, c'mon Clyde 

C'mon Clyde, c'mon Clyde, c'mon Clyde
