WHAT THE OLD CLOCK SAID 



Tick-took, tick-tock, 

 Yes, my child, I'm a very old clock; 

 Funny enough, I never was small, 

 But always big, and straight, and tall. 

 Tick-tock. 



Tick-tock, tick-tock, 



Yes, my child, I'm a handsome old clock, 

 Made in Boston, long, long ago 

 Boston, Massachusetts, you know. 

 Tick-tock. 



Tick-tock, tick-tock, 



Yes, my child, I'm an old Willard clock. 

 Simon Willard set me in place, 

 Fastened my hands before my face. 

 Tick-tock. 



Tick-tock, tick-tock, 



Yes, my child, I'm a steady old clock.
