There was a man like you and meAs simple as a man could ever beAnd he was happy as a kingExcept for one peculiar thingHe had a clock that worked all rightIt worked all right, but not exactly quiteInstead of going: tick, tock, tickThe crazy clock went: tock, tick, tockThe poor old man just raved and ravedBecause nobody could sayWhy his silly clock behaved that hickory dickory wayBut now a famous man is heHe owns a public curiosityFrom far and wide, the people flock To hear the syncopated clockTick-a-tock, tick-a-tockThere's a zing in the swing of that clockTock-a-tick, tock-a-tickDon't you think it's a marvelous trick?Ting-a-ling, ting-a-lingThere's a zong in the bong of that ringLing-a-ting, ling-a-tingDon't you think it's a wonderful thing?The experts came to hear and seeBut none of them could solve the mysteryThey called Professor Einstein tooHe said: There's nothing I can do.But soon the fickle human race Will find another freak to take its placeAnd one fine day the man will hock The poor old syncopated clock
