Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, |

| [00:09.50] |
My grandfather's clock; Was too large for the shelf |
| [00:13.97] |
So it stood ninety years on the floor |
| [00:18.39] |
It was taller by half than the old man himself |
| [00:22.91] |
Though it weighed not a penny-weight more; |
| [00:27.33] |
It was bought on the morn; Of the day that he was born |
| [00:31.89] |
And was always his treasure and pride |
| [00:36.35] |
But it stopped short never to go again |
| [00:40.90] |
When the old man died. |
| [00:45.48] |
Ninety years without slumbering |
| [00:47.95] |
(Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock) |
| [00:50.02] |
His life seconds numbering |
| [00:52.27] |
(Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock) |
| [00:54.54] |
It stopped short never to go again |
| [00:58.93] |
When the old man died. |
| [01:03.64] |
(And) my grandfather said that of those he could hire |
| [01:08.12] |
Not a servant so faitful he found |
| [01:12.42] |
For it wasted no time and had but one desire |
| [01:16.93] |
At the close of each week to be wound |
| [01:21.38] |
And it kept in its' place; not a frown upon its' face |
| [01:25.88] |
And its' hands never hung by its side |
| [01:30.56] |
But it stopped short never to go again |
| [01:34.83] |
When the old man died. |
| [01:41.96] |
It rang an alarm in the dead of the night |
| [01:46.37] |
An alarm that for years had been dumb |
| [01:50.69] |
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight |
| [01:55.24] |
That his hour for departure had come. |
| [01:59.57] |
Still the clock kept the time; with its' soft and muffled chimes |
| [02:04.18] |
As we proudly stood by his side |
| [02:08.62] |
But it stopped short never to go again |
| [02:13.06] |
When the old man died. |
| [02:17.75] |
Ninety years without slumbering |
| [02:19.99] |
(Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock) |
| [02:22.28] |
His life seconds numbering |
| [02:24.70] |
(Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock) |
| [02:26.86] |
It stopped short never to go again |
| [02:30.80] |
When the old man died. |
| [02:35.09] |
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock...... |
| [02:40.09] |
