Little Dick And The Clock

When Dicky was sick In the night, and the clock, As he listened, said "Tick- Atty--tick-atty--tock!" He said that it said, Every time it said "Tick," It said "Sick," instead, And he heard it say "Sick!" And when it said "Tick- Atty--tick-atty--tock," He said it said "Sick- Atty--sick-atty--sock!" And he tried to see then, But the light was too dim, Yet he heard it again-- And't was talking to him!

And then it said "Sick- Atty--sick-atty--sick You poor little Dick- Atty--Dick-atty--dock! Have you got the hick- Atties? Hi! send for Doc To hurry up quick Atty--quick-atty--quock, And heat a hot brick- Atty--brick-atty--brock,

And rikle-ty wrap it And clickle-ty clap it Against his cold feet- Al-ty--weep-aty--eepaty-- There he goes, slapit- Ty--slippaty--sleepaty!"
