## Lyrics
[verse]
Bartholomew keeps a hammer in his coat
Shiny little thing that he loves to tote
Knocking on the door of anyone who's rude
Fixing up their manners with his attitude

[chorus]
Clang clang, goes the hammer down
Bartholomew's the strangest man in town
Clang clang, watch him grin and hum
Nobody expects the tapping when it comes

[verse]
Teacher gave him trouble, said his work was late
Bartholomew just smiled and calmly shut the gate
Judge and jury couldn't figure what to do
He tipped his hat and simply tapped it through

[chorus]
Clang clang, goes the hammer down
Bartholomew's the strangest man in town
Clang clang, watch him grin and hum
Nobody expects the tapping when it comes

[bridge]
Piano tinkles bright behind the joke
Nobody's laughing quite like other folk
Something dark beneath the bouncy tune
Waiting like a shadow past the afternoon

[chorus]
Clang clang, goes the hammer down
Bartholomew's the strangest man in town
Clang clang, watch him grin and hum
Nobody expects the tapping when it comes
