Tick

The clock has begunĀ 

TockĀ 

Where has time goneĀ 

TickĀ 

I was at this placeĀ 

TockĀ 

Now Iā€™m caught in a raceĀ 

TickĀ 

Itā€™s going at a quick paceĀ 

TockĀ 

What was I working onĀ 

TickĀ 

Where has time goneĀ 

TockĀ 

I tripped on my shoelaceĀ 

TickĀ 

What happened to my faceĀ 

TockĀ 

Why am I holding a briefcaseĀ 

TickĀ 

It is now dawnĀ 

TockĀ 

Where has time goneĀ 

TickĀ 

I won first placeĀ 

TockĀ 

Iā€™m not a disgraceĀ 

Tick

I am in the wrong placeĀ 

TockĀ 

Where has time goneĀ 

TickĀ 

TockĀ
