How can I copy currently played song to clipboard in ncmpcpp?

I can't find a way to copy a title of currently played song in ncmpcpp to clipboard.

Is there any shortcut to do this ?

Ubuntu Version: 19.10:

$ lsb_release -r Release: 19.10 

ncmpcpp 0.8.2:

$ ncmpcpp -v ncmpcpp 0.8.2 optional screens compiled-in: - tag editor - tiny tag editor - outputs - visualizer - clock encoding detection: enabled built with support for: fftw ncurses taglib

Thanks to @K7AAY I have found an answer:

#!/bin/bash SONG=`ncmpcpp --current-song -q` echo "NAME: ${SONG}" echo -n $SONG | xclip -selection c 

Running above script will print song name and copy it to the clipboard.
