hickory dickory


from the ABC set Fiction

hickory dickory dock
the mouse ran around with the clock

humpty dumpty had a big spoon
the cat ran away with the moon

the hunter and the honey
hunted for the bunny
the day was hot and sunny
everything was nice and funny

the clock struck one
the plan went wrong

the cat was down
and jill came tumbling after
all the kings horses
and all the kings men
couldnt put elemer fudd
together again

hickory dickory dock
the mouse ran away with the clock

tom tom the pipers son
stole a chick and away he run
little tommy tucker
sang for his supper

ding dong ding!
ding dong ding!

hickory dickory dock
the mouse ran into the clock
inside it ran amok...
gave the cuckoo a shock

What time to strike
thought the union clock
what time to open
thought the 5 lever lock
what time to blow
thought the nose with a block

Who should I wear
thought the egotist sock
Oh, Not jeans again
thought the poor lonely frock
I mustn't be thrown
though the sensible rock
I know if I am
I'll end up in the dock
I'll make some Chinese
Now where is my wok?
I might just cook that bird
and have a cooked cuckooless clock.

it gave the cuckoo such a shock
for a mouse to run into a clock!
