190 WHAT THE OLD CLOCK SAID 



Back and forth my pendulum swings, 

 Clear and true my hour-bell rings. 

 Tick-tock. 



Tick-tock, tick-took, 

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

 I never sleep, and I never play, 

 But keep my hands going, night and day. 

 Tick-tock. 



Tick-tock, tick-tock, 

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

 In Frances Willard's study I stand 

 A woman loved in every land. 

 Tick-tock. 



Tick-tock, tick-tock, 

 Listen, my child, to a wise old clock. 

 Always be punctual, diligent, too, 

 A total abstainer, kind and true. 

 Tick-tock.
