Rock Me Around the Clock
Tick, Toc, Tick, Toc
I rest in bed
Listening to that constant
Rhythm of the clock’s beat
Patiently waiting to sleep
Tick, Toc, Tick, Toc
BBOOOOMMM
Burst of lightning bolts,
Illuminating the black dark cloudy night sky
Thunders with a deafening Sonic Boom
Ground jarring,
Broke the silence of the night
Tick, Toc, Tick Toc
BBOOOOMMM
Oh, please let the slumber come
Frightening, startling, cracking of thunder
Rain pounding on the roof
Is someone angry, keeping
Me from my sleeping
Tick, Toc, Tick Toc
BBOOOOMMM
Roar of the thunder,
Light flashing, descending
Rain drumming on my bedroom window
The sunrise has a way of sneaking up and
Glancing through my bedroom window
I wonder if the gods are enjoying
Their game of bowling
Where’s the morning dawn
Tick, Toc, Tick Toc
Ten till six, it’s almost time to get up
The rain has finally stopped
Tick, Toc, Tick Toc
ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZzzzzzzzzzz
