Tick, Tick the clock goes
It ticks away as the minute of the day
Tick, tick it ticks away the time of life
And ticks the things made in life
Tick, tick the bird calls
Tick, tick like a sounding gong
Reminding us that time has passed
Passed to have more fun,
Passed to do more work
Tick, tick the time flies
Aging and aging we all do
Tick, tick genetics calls
Ticking the woman to a motion life
Tick, tick mother says
Tick, tick father says
Tick, tick friends will say
Start a generation now or never
Tick, tick the people say
Biology, biology needs a pay day
Tick, tick the time goes on
Confirming, confirming that time waits for no one.
