Tickery tickery tock
The mouse ran up the clock,
When the clock chimed one, the mouse dashed down,
Tickery tickery tock
A tiny mouse lived under the stair,
Dreaming of journeys to here and to there.
He found a tall clock that ticked through the night,
And whispered a secret when glowing with light.
Tickery tickery tock
The mouse ran up the clock,
When the clock chimed one, the mouse dashed down,
Tickery tickery tock
The clock told tales of adventures untold,
Of castles of silver and mountains of gold.
But warned the mouse when the chime had begun,
He must hurry home before it struck one.
Tickery tickery tock
The mouse ran up the clock,
When the clock chimed one, the mouse dashed down,
Tickery tickery tock
He sailed through the sky on a moonbeam so bright,
And danced with the stars in the still of the night.
But deep in his heart he knew he must run,
Back to his bed when the clock struck one.
Tickery tickery tock
The mouse ran up the clock,
When the clock chimed one, the mouse dashed down,
Tickery tickery tock
