Chilly Gonzales, Jarvis Cocker - Clara lyrics

Clara, dear Clara tell me, please, do
How come your dear father
Was far smarter than you?

And Clara, dear Clara what will you do
Now your only daughter
Has taken to the booze

It's a family drama
Though you lack the skill to write it down
'Cos Daddy used up all the ink
Then he took his pen and left town
Clara, dear Clara
Now your husband's gone too
Leaving his piano
In this hotel room so play it clara

Remember, dear Clara
How he used to play for you
Like a personal orchestra
If you could just recall the tune clara
Remember, Clara

Everything was harmonious
Everything was melodic
Now you're a lonely widow
And your daughter's alcoholic
The last of the bloodline
Is 40 percent proof
Just like a friend of your
Dad's once almost said:
"Being young is wasted on the youth"

Clara, dear Clara tell me, please, do
How come your dear father
Was far smarter than you? Tell me, Clara
Clara clara
