| Oh give me your attention
|
| There’s been a new invention
|
| It isn’t any larger than an adding machine
|
| It’s only fair to mention
|
| Though it’s a new invention
|
| It’s one that you have heard about but few have ever seen
|
| It doesn’t do division and it doesn’t multiply
|
| It doesn’t want to be a bird, it doesn’t try to fly
|
| It came about because they made a big atomic bomb
|
| The new invention’s clicking and because of all its ticking
|
| I know where the idea came from
|
| I tic, tic, tic, why do I tic, tic?
|
| What amazing trick, makes me tic, tic, tic
|
| I tic, tic, tic, an electric tic
|
| When I feel a realistic tic
|
| You’re such an attractive pick
|
| Give me a radioactive kick
|
| It’s distracted the way you stick
|
| But love, love makes me tic
|
| I tic, tic, tic and my heart beats quick
|
| How can anything go wrong?
|
| When I’m listening to that Geiger counter song
|
| I tic, tic all day long
|
| I tic, tic, tic, why do I tic, tic?
|
| What amazing trick, makes me tic-tic-tic-tic-tic
|
| I tic, tic, tic, an electric tic
|
| When I feel a realistic tic
|
| Butcher and the baker tic
|
| So does the maker of the candlesticks
|
| Lawyers have their politics
|
| But love, love makes them tic
|
| So tic, tic, tic, let your heart tic, tic
|
| How can anything go wrong?
|
| If you’re listening to that Geiger counter song
|
| You’ll tic, tic all day long
|
| Like the butcher and baker tics
|
| Like the candlestick maker tics
|
| Like the doctor and the lawyer tics
|
| Even though he’s mixed up in his politics
|
| Like the merchant and the Indian chief tic-tics
|
| Like the poor, like the rich man tic-tic-tics
|
| Digging a ditch man, the butter and egg man
|
| The poor wooden leg man, the beggar and thief
|
| All found out what its all about
|
| When its love you can’t be wrong
|
| You better listen to that Geiger counter song
|
| And tic tic all day long
|
| Tic, tic-tic-tic, tic, tic, tic-tic-tic, tic, tic, tic-tic-tic
|
| Tic |
