BOPPIN' TO GRANDFATHER'S CLOCK
(S. Gunther)
HARDROCK GUNTER (ISLAND IR-6, 1958)
Vocal Sidney Jo Lewis***

Now you all heard the story
About my grandfather's clock
How it rang when the time was right
You know that story
It kept time all the time that my grandfather lived
But it stopped it's tick-tock when he died
Now, old granddad was quite a lad
And I'm sure you all know
He'd be glad if he knew about his clock
'Cause I wound it today
And if grandpop could see
How we bop to the tick of his clock

Bip bop boogedy bip bop boogie
Bip bop boogedy bip bop boogie
Bip bop boogedy bip bop boogie
Bip bop boogedy bip bop boogie
Bip bop boogedy bip bop boogie
The bip bop boogie to my grandfather's clock

Bip bop boogedy bip bop boogie
Bip bop boogedy bip bop boogie
Bip bop boogedy bip bop boogie
Bip bop boogedy bip bop boogie
Bip bop boogedy bip bop boogie
The bip bop boogie to my grandfather's clock

Old granddad was quite a lad
I'm sure that you all know
He'd be glad if he knew about his clock
'Cause I wound it today
And if grandpop could see
How we bop to the tick of his clock
How we bop to the tick of his clock
Bip bop boogedy bip bop boogie
Bip bop boogedy bip bop boogie
