Lyrics

[00:04.11] My grandfather's clock was too big for the shelf
[00:08.82] So it stood ninety years on the floor
[00:12.33] It was taller by half than the old man himself
[00:18.27] And it weighed not a penny-weight more
[00:21.85] It was made on the dawn of the day that he was born
[00:27.82] And was always his pride and his joy
[00:31.40] But it stopped dead never to go again
[00:37.25] When the old man died
[00:40.94] Ninety years without slumbering
[00:45.10] Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock
[00:47.40] His life seconds numbering
[00:49.77] Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock
[00:52.07] But it stopped dead never to go again
[00:56.36] When the old man died
[00:59.87] My grandfather's clock was too big for the shelf
[01:05.82] So it stood ninety years on the floor
[01:09.47] It was taller by half than the old man himself
[01:15.33] And it weighed not a penny-weight more
[01:19.05] It was made on the dawn of the day that he was born
[01:24.83] And was always his pride and his joy
[01:29.60] But it stopped dead
[01:31.99] Never to go again
[01:34.30] When the old man died
[01:40.12]
