Tick tock tick tock
Listen to the little clock
Telling us that time has come
To go to sleep
Shhh listen
Listen to the little clock
Telling us that time has come
To go to sleep
The sun has set
The stars are bright
The time has come
To say goodnight
Cuckoo cuckoo
Little birdie’s telling you
Hushaby close your eyes
And go to sleep
Dingdong dingdong
Grandpa clock has sung His song
Lovely chimes say it’s time
To go to sleep
