• tick tock sick ('60)

Tick-tock, tick-tock
grandfather's clock goes tick tock.
That clock's got rhythm with a beat that swings.
Dig that clock, swing it clock.

Dug that clock
yeah, all the way
with a one and a two and a tick-tock
tick-tock

It's a beat that sticks
with the tocks and the ticks.
Need more clocks to go with the tocks
cuz the ticks a- what?..
bug me.

Went to the store where they sell the clocks
with the ticks and the tocks and the rhythm that rocks.
Here's what I bought:
tick tock
a wind-up clock,
a wrist watch clock,
a stop watch clock,
and a.. alarm clock.

All night long
a tickin' and a tockin'
crazy clocks
a swingin' and a rockin'
in the wee small hours I fell in the sack to the lullaby of the...

All night long cozily sleepin'
never suspectin' of the end that was comin'
only listenin' to the syncopated moments of the calculated
clickings of the clocks on the shelf.

Not a shadow of suspicion of the underhanded scheming
of the evil-minded genius who invented the contraption
that confounded my affection for the sound of pleasant ticking
with the wicked interjection of the gadget's scrambled version
with the singleness of purpose to alarm!

Out the window with this object of the devil!
Into the garbage can with the stop watch!
Grind the wrist watch into the floor boards,
then push over the grandfather's clock.

No ticks, no tocks, no clicks, no clocks
no alarm clock disturbs any sleep of mine.
Now I wake in the morning
all rejuvinated and I use the sun dial to tell the time.
