syncopated clock - leroy anderson 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 n-body 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.
