the syncopated clock (reader's digest) - arthur fiedler lyrics

Loading...

there was a man like you and me
as simple as a man could ever be
and he was happy as a king
except for one peculiar thing

he had a clock that worked all right
it worked all right, but not exactly quite
instead of going: “tick, tock, tick”
the crazy clock went: “tock, tick, tock”

the poor old man just raved and raved
because n0body could say
why his silly clock behaved that hickory d-ckory way

but now a famous man is he
he owns a public curiosity
from far and wide, the people flock
to hear the syncopated clock

tick-a-tock, tick-a-tock
there’s a zing in the swing of that clock
tock-a-tick, tock-a-tick
don’t you think it’s a marvelous trick?

ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
there’s a zong in the bong of that ring
ling-a-ting, ling-a-ting
don’t you think it’s a wonderful thing?

the experts came to hear and see
but none of them could solve the mystery
they called professor einstein too
he said: “there’s nothing i can do.”

but soon the fickle human race
will find another freak to take its place
and one fine day the man will hock
the poor old syncopated clock
