Grandfather's Clock The Clock Poem Sung to: “I’m Lumberjack” My grand-father's clock was too large for the shelf, So it stood ninety years on the floor; I'm in the clock crew and I'm okay! It was tall-er by half than the old man himself, I tick all night and I tick all day. though it weighed not a pen-ny weight more. I've got two hands, I'm having a ball, It was bought on the morn of the day he was born, Because I've got no arms at all! and was al-ways his treasure and pride; But it stopp'd short nev-er to go a-gain My big hand can move sixty minutes in one When the old man died. hour, Ninety years, without slumbering (tick, toc, tick, toc) I'm the one with the strength and power. His life seconds numbering (tick, toc, tick, toc) My small hand isn't quite as fast. It stopp'd Short never to go a-gain, If they were in a race, it would come last! When the old man died. It takes so long just to get around (12 hours you know), The Faces Of The Clock It's careful, small, and slow. The Big Hand is busy Now meet my friends that help me tick-tock, But the Small Hand has power. Half past, quarter past, quarter to and o'clock. The large one counts the minutes. But the Little One names the hour. When both Hands stand at the top together, Hickory Dickory Dock (again) It's sure to be Twelve O'clock. But whether HIckory Dickory Dock, That's twelve at noon or twelve at night The mouse ran up the clock; Depends on if it's dark or light. The clock struck One, The mouse ran down, Hickory Dickory Dock! Clock Song Sung to: "The Wheels on the Bus" Hickory Dickory Dock, The hands on the clock go round and round, The mouse ran up the clock; Round and round, round and round. The clock struck Two, The hands on the clock go round and round. The mouse said BOO! To tell us the time. Hickory Dickory Dock! The short hand on the clock Goes from number to number, Hickory Dickory Dock, Number to number, number to number. The mouse ran up the clock; The short hand on the clock The clock struck Three, Goes from number to number. The mouse said Wheeeee... To tell us the hour. As he slid down the clock! The long hand on the clock Goes around by fives, Around by fives, around by fives. The long hand on the clock Goes around by fives. To tell us the minutes. Days of the Week
