Tic, Tic, Tic Lyrics

Now the Hummer Eye is proud to present
The Kingston Trio

Uno, dos, tres, cinco
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Tick, tick, tick, everybody lookin′
Tick, tick, tick, see them all a-searchin'
Tick, tick, tick, that′s all they hear
But they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding

What a confusion
Fella lost his watch in a railway station
What a confusion
A fella lost his watch in a railway station
An attractive girl named Melda
Was accused of being a burglar
She had no purse, no pocket in her clothes
So where she hid the watch only goodness knows

And you're hearing
Tick, tick, tick, everybody lookin′
Tick, tick, tick, see them all a-searchin′
Tick, tick, tick, that's all they hear
But they couldn′t find out where the watch was hiding

Under suspicion
They took her down to the police station
And they called on the matron
Who examined all the clothes that she had on
The matron examined with care
She even made her take down her long hair
She searched 'til she couldn′t search no more
But the watch now tickin' louder than before

And you′re hearing
Tick, tick, tick, everybody lookin'
Tick, tick, tick, see them all a-searchin'
Tick, tick, tick, that′s all they hear
But they couldn′t find out where the watch was hiding

Confusion now in the station
Matron searching by inspiration
Watch ticking louder and louder
Matron moving up closer
The matron convinced there's no doubt
She put her hand inside Melda′s mouth
You know her idea came true
When she found the watch, it was ten to two

Still tickin'
Tick, tick, tick, everybody lookin′
Tick, tick, tick, see them all a-searchin'
Tick, tick, tick, that′s all they hear
But they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding

Tick, tick, tick, everybody lookin'
Tick, tick, tick, see them all a-searchin′
Tick, tick, tick, that′s all they hear
But they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding
