The Syncopated Clock sing and play along

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 culiar thing.

He "tock, tick, tock!"

The poor old man just raved and raved,

because nobody could say why his silly clock behaved that hickory dickory 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 tock, tick tock.

There's zing in the swing of that clock.

Tock tick, tock tick.

Don't you think it's a marvelous trick?

Ting ling, ting ling.

There's zong in the bong of that ring.

Ling ting, ling ting.

Don't you think it's a marvelous trick?

Ting 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 synco I can do!"

But pated clock.
