What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
There was a man like you and me
2
As simple as a man could ever be
3
And he was happy as a king
4
Except for one peculiar thing
5
He had a clock that worked all right
6
It worked all right, but not exactly quite
7
Instead of going: "tick, tock, tick"
8
The crazy clock went: "tock, tick, tock"
9
The poor old man just raved and raved
10
Because nobody could say
11
Why his silly clock behaved that hickory dickory way
12
But now a famous man is he
13
He owns a public curiosity
14
From far and wide, the people flock
15
To hear the syncopated clock
16
Tick-a-tock, tick-a-tock
17
There's a zing in the swing of that clock
18
Tock-a-tick, tock-a-tick
19
Don't you think it's a marvelous trick?
20
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
21
There's a zong in the bong of that ring
22
Ling-a-ting, ling-a-ting
23
Don't you think it's a wonderful thing?
24
The experts came to hear and see
25
But none of them could solve the mystery
26
They called Professor Einstein too
27
He said: "There's nothing I can do."
28
But soon the fickle human race
29
Will find another freak to take its place
30
And one fine day the man will hock
31
The poor old syncopated clock
