Christmas Eve
“Tick-tock,” said the Nursery Clock,
“Please remember that little sock;
Nannie, mend the hole in the toe,
The goodies will tumble out, you know.
Tick-tock, tick-tock,”
Said the clickity-clackity Nursery Clock.
“Hush, hush,” said Santa Claus,
As he peeped inside the bedroom doors,
“I am looking around for a little sock,
Do you know where it is, please, Mr Clock?”
“Tick-tock, tick-tock,
It hangs over there,” said the Nursery Clock.
“Tick-tock,” said the Nursery Clock,
And pointed straight at the little sock.
Oh, yes, he did, for don’t you see,
A clock has hands like you and me....
“Tick-tock, tick-tock,
I am always right,” said the Nursery Clock.
