[Chorus:]
|
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. [Repeat]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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'
|
|
[Chorus]
