Tic, Tic, Tic

Tic, Tic, Tic - The Kingston Trio

Do do do do do do do

Tic tic tic

Ev'rybody lookin'

Tic tic tic See them all a-searchin'

Tic tic tic

That's all they're hearin'

But they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding

What a confusion

A fellow lost his watch in a railway station

What a confusion

A fellow 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 hearing

Tic tic tic

Ev'rybody lookin'

Tic tic tic

See them all a-searchin'

Tic tic tic

That's all they're hearin'

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 she had on

The matron examined with care

She even made her take down her long hair

She searched till she couldn't search

No more but the watch now tickin' louder than before

And you hearing

Tic tic tic

Ev'rybody lookin'

Tic tic tic

See them all a-searchin'

Tic tic tic

That's all they're hearin'

But they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding

Confusion now in the station

The matron searching by inspiration

Watch tickin' louder and louder and the

Matron moving up closer

The matron convinced there's no doubt

She put her hand inside Melda's mouth

Do you know her idea cam true

When she found the watch

It was ten to two Still tickin'

Tic tic tic

Ev'rybody lookin'

Tic tic tic

See them all a-searchin'

Tic tic tic

That's all they're hearin'

But they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding
