<br>
Verse:<br>
<br>
Oh, give me your attention,<br>
There's been a new invention;<br>
It isn't any larger than an adding machine.<br>
It's only fair to mention,<br>
Though it's a new invention,<br>
It's one that you have heard about, but few have ever seen.<br>
It doesn't do division and it doesn't multiply,<br>
It doesn't try to be a bird, it doesn't try to fly'<br>
It came about because they made a big atomic bomb.<br>
The new invention's clicking<br>
And because of all its ticking,<br>
I know where the idea came from;<br>
<br>
Chorus 1:<br>
<br>
I tick, tick, tick,<br>
Why do I tick, tick?<br>
What amazing trick<br>
Makes me tick, tick, tick?<br>
I tick, tick, tick,<br>
An electric tick<br>
When I feel a realistic tick.<br>
You're such an attractive hick,<br>
Give me a radioactive kick,<br>
It's distractive the way you stick,<br>
But love, love makes me tick.<br>
I tick, tick, tick,<br>
And my heart beats quick;<br>
How can anything go wrong?<br>
When I'm list'nin' to that Geiger Counter song,<br>
I tick, tick all day long.<br>
<br>
Chorus 2:<br>
<br>
I tick, tick, tick,<br>
Why do I tick, tick?<br>
What amazing trick<br>
Makes me tick, tick, tick, tick, tick?<br>
I tick, tick, tick,<br>
An electric tick<br>
When I feel a realistic tick.<br>
The butcher and the baker ticks,<br>
So does the maker of the candlesticks;<br>
Lawyers have their politics,<br>
But love, love makes 'em tick.<br>
So, tick, tick, tick,<br>
Let your heart tick, tick,<br>
How can anything go wrong?<br>
If you're list'nin' to that Geiger Counter song,<br>
You'll tick, tick all day long.<br>
<br>
Half chorus:<br>
<br>
Like the butcher and the baker ticks,<br>
Like the candlestick maker ticks,<br>
Like the doctor and the lawyer ticks,<br>
Even though he's messed up in his politics;<br>
Like the merchant and the Indian chief tick, ticks,<br>
Like the poor, like rich man tick, tick, ticks,<br>
Diggin' a ditch man,<br>
The butter and egg man,<br>
The poor wooden leg man,<br>
The beggar and feet!<br>
All find out<br>
What it's all about,<br>
When it's love you can't go wrong,<br>
You better listen to that Geiger Counter song,<br>
And tick, tick all day long.<br>
Tick, tick, tick, tick,<br>
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,<br>
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,<br>
Tick.<br>
<br>
