His boss sent his job overseas
The bank pulled the house
The bank pulled the house
From underneath
When she took the kids to aunt Bernice
And left him there begging
Down on his knees
He ate two barrels of sweet relief
Singing
Come, Clarence, Come
Come, Clarence, Come
Our bells are ringing
If you want the wings
And we just need your help for once
She was a beautiful being
Made him a home, gave everything
But when it was a baby
That she couldn't bring
He betrayed their bedroom
With a younger fling
So she went down the road
And across the street
Sank in a bath of sweet relief
Singing
Come, Clarence, Come
Come, Clarence, Come
Our bells are ringing
If you want the wings
And we just need your help for once
Another night with nothing to eat
A refugee with worn out feet
When the rebels come from the east
To rip her to pieces
If she doesn't believe
She'll play another game
Of hide and seek
Scream her lungs to the west
for sweet relief
Singing
Come, Clarence, Come
Come, Clarence, Come
Our bells are ringing
If you want the wings
And we just need your help for once
It's not that we wish we weren't born
We just wish we were born for more
That we weren't just staying alive
That we had a wonderful life
