Tick tock,
Tick tock
A sad clock sings,
Tick tock
Tick tock,
The mad clock brings
Here it hangs,
On the wall,
Here it sits,
Here it rocks,
Here it sings
Here it gawks,
Here it ticks,
And here it tocks,
Tick tock
Tick tock,
Sings the cold clock
Tick tock
Tick tock
Cries the lonely clock.
Hear the sound,
Listen well
Hear the cries
Hear them swell,
The gleaming eye
The moving hands,
A battery dies,
A story ends,
Tick tock.
Tick...tock.
