Time; Is It a Friend of Mine?

Hickory dickory dock
Tha clock struck four
And up from tha bed, feet touch tha floor
Hickory dickory dock 
 

Hickory dickory dock
Tha clock struck ten
I've been at work four hours til then
Hickory dickory dock

Hickory dickory dock
Tha clock strikes nine
And as sleep claims me, I hit tha bed on time
Hickory dickory dock

Hickory dickory dock
tha clock strikes one
I strike back a bit too hard, and so it's done
Hickory dickory dock
