Tick Tock

Hickory dickory dock,

if only time Time could talk.

"Look 'round", she'd say,

"you've got all day".

Hickory dickory dock.

Quickory dickory dock,            

tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.   

"One thing at a time,

how else can life rhyme?"

Hickory dickory dock.

Chickory dickory dock,            

if only time Time could talk.

But cozy in sleep,

we'd hear not a peep.

Hickory dickory dock.
