TICK TOCK
(Jerry Landis)
JERRY LANDIS [=Paul Simon] (Rori 707, 1962)

Tick, tock, tick
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
Tick, tock, tick, tock, ticky-tock, tick...
I'm waitin' for my baby doll
She's two hours late
Now it's almost ten o'clock
She said she'd here at eight
I'm lookin' at my watch
I wonder how long must I wait
Hearing: tick, tock, tick
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
Tick, tock, tick, tock, ticky-tock, tick...
I'm all dressed up and rarin' to go
Where can she be?
I wonder if she stood me up
She can't do that to me
Now it's almost eleven o'clock
I guess I'll wait and see
Hearing: tick, tock, tick
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
Tick, tock, tick, tock, ticky-tock, tick...
(Repeat)

Well, now it's almost twelve o'clock
And I'm here in a stew
Should I stay or go back home
I don't know what to do
One thing that I know for sure
That girl and I are through
Keep hearing: tick, tock, tick
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
Tick, tock, tick, tock, ticky-tock, tick...
