Tic Tic Tic (Live) - 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
