Tic, Tic, Tic Lyrics - Kingston Trio

Tic, tic, tic! Ev'rybody lookin'. Tic, tic, tic! See them all a-searchin' 

Tic, tic, tic! That's all they're hearin' but they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding 

What a confusion 

A fellow lost his watch in a railway station 

What a confusion 

A fellow lost his watch in a railway station 

An attractive girl named Melda was accused of being a burglar 

She had no purse, no pocket in her clothes, so where she hid the watch only goodness knows 

And you hearing 

Tic, tic, tic! Ev'rybody lookin'. Tic, tic, tic! See them all a-searchin' 

Tic, tic, tic! That's all they're hearin' but they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding 

Under suspicion, they took her down to the police station 

And they called on the matron who examined all the clothes she had on 

The matron examined with care 

She even made her take down her long hair 

She searched till she couldn't search no more but the watch now tickin' louder than before 

And you hearing 

Tic, tic, tic! Ev'rybody lookin'. Tic, tic, tic! See them all a-searchin' 

Tic, tic, tic! That's all they're hearin' but they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding 

Confusion now in the station. The matron searching by inspiration 

Watch tickin' louder and louder and the matron moving up closer 

The matron convinced there's no doubt. She put her hand inside Melda's mouth 

Do you know her idea cam true? When she found the watch, it was ten to two. Still tickin' 

Tic, tic, tic! Ev'rybody lookin'. Tic, tic, tic! See them all a-searchin' 

Tic, tic, tic! That's all they're hearin' but they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding
