1
Excuse me, does anyone have the time?
2
No
3
If you knew what makes me tick
4
It'll probably make you sick
5
Lay my days of my life in front of you
6
And I'll let you take your pick, come on
7
Pull back the curtain but make sure that you are certain
8
That it will be worth the energy that you end up exerting
9
Now walk past the doorway step in the foyer
10
Don't you bother knocking
11
I'm a grandfather clockin' everything you do
12
I'm seeing through you faultiness
13
So sprinkle me but not with saltiness
14
The ghetto taught me this
15
I fought for this, I fight for this, I spend my life for this
16
And if you put your brain to work it ain't hard to decipher this
17
Counting down the days boy closer to your doom
18
Time keeper for the Reaper, the family heirloom
19
Like staring at my grandfather clock inside my room
20
It'll never miss a tick-tock, it strikes everyday a noon
21
Every hour on the hour, it'll sing a tune
22
Every half hour ot'll croon and yell out at the moon
23
You can't escape the master time, no one is immune
24
The hands of time will grab you when the moments opportune
25
No one is immune
26
When the moments opportune
27
Carved from a tree trunk bark
28
What a wonderful work of art
29
Well, I usually wear my sundial
30
But it don't work when it's dark
31
(Don't work when it's dark)
32
No electric parts spark as mechanical as he is
33
He'll kindly say just wind me and then show me where the key is
34
Then I go about my day and I flow about the way
35
He never has nothing to say, he just sits there on display
36
I seen one in the cafe, one inside the cabaret
37
Timekeeper for the Reaper, what a pretty price to pay
38
So don't you bother knockin' at, I'm a Grandfather clokin'
39
Everything you do, I'm seeing through your masquerade
40
At midnight you will hear the serenade and don't you be afraid
41
It's like clock work orange lemonade with the bottomless glass
42
When it's time for that ass, tick-tock
43
My grandfather clock goes
44
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
45
The pendulum is swinging
46
And it just don't ever stop
47
Tick-tock, my Grandfather clock goes
48
Tick-tock, tick-tock, my grandfather clock
49
I used to have this coo-coo clock
50
That would bother my grandfather clock
51
Never gave it no rest so I flew over the top of the nest
52
And then at my request I ask him to resign
53
He was never on time, one hour behind
54
At ten, he stuck at nine
55
But he did not fuck with mine 'cause I murdered that machine
56
If you ever beat the clock you know exactly what I mean
57
(Exactly what I mean)
58
I hold my grandfather clock in high esteem
59
My alarm clock screams 'cause he knows how long it takes me
60
But my grandfather clock leans over and he shakes me
61
And they both race against time to see who will be the first to wake me
62
But when I became awoke my alarm clock was broke
63
And my grandfather clock was staring right down my throat
64
And he leaned a little bit closer and he told and I quote
65
"If you ever race against me, you will surely come up short"
66
He said, "I'm better than your Timex, your Rolex or your Swatch
67
Your Fossil, Casio, Quartz, your diamond studded watch"
68
He said, "I control how long you stay alive
69
I'ma tap you on you shoulder at eleven fifty-five"
70
When the time arrives and then and only then
71
You'll have your five minutes of funk
72
I said my final salutations as I stepped amongst the monks
73
Then he took me exactly where I stodd like he should
74
And I tried to reason with him and I tried knocking on wood but he said
75
So don't you bother knockin' at, I'm a Grandfather clokin'
76
Everything you do, I'm seeing through your masquerade
77
At midnight you will hear the serenade and don't you be afraid
78
It's like clock work orange lemonade with the bottomless glass
79
When it's time for that ass, tick-tock
80
My grandfather clock goes
81
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
82
The pendulum is swinging
83
And it just don't ever stop
84
Tick-tock, my Grandfather clock goes
85
Tick-tock, tick-tock, my grandfather clock
