Tic Tic Tic - Doris Day

Oh give me your attention

There’s been a new invention

It isn’t any larger than an adding machine

It’s only fair to mention

Though it’s a new invention

It’s one that you have heard about but few have ever seen

It doesn’t do division and it doesn’t multiply

It doesn’t want to be a bird, it doesn’t try to fly

It came about because they made a big atomic bomb

The new invention’s clicking and because of all its ticking

I know where the idea came from

I tic, tic, tic, why do I tic, tic?

What amazing trick, makes me tic, tic, tic

I tic, tic, tic, an electric tic

When I feel a realistic tic

You’re such an attractive pick

Give me a radioactive kick

It’s distracted the way you stick

But love, love makes me tic

I tic, tic, tic and my heart beats quick

How can anything go wrong?

When I’m listening to that Geiger counter song

I tic, tic all day long

I tic, tic, tic, why do I tic, tic?

What amazing trick, makes me tic-tic-tic-tic-tic

I tic, tic, tic, an electric tic

When I feel a realistic tic

Butcher and the baker tic

So does the maker of the candlesticks

Lawyers have their politics

But love, love makes them tic

So tic, tic, tic, let your heart tic, tic

How can anything go wrong?

If you’re listening to that Geiger counter song

You’ll tic, tic all day long

Like the butcher and baker tics

Like the candlestick maker tics

Like the doctor and the lawyer tics

Even though he’s mixed up in his politics

Like the merchant and the Indian chief tic-tics

Like the poor, like the rich man tic-tic-tics

Digging a ditch man, the butter and egg man

The poor wooden leg man, the beggar and thief

All found out what its all about

When its love you can’t be wrong

You better listen to that Geiger counter song

And tic tic all day long

Tic, tic-tic-tic, tic, tic, tic-tic-tic, tic, tic, tic-tic-tic
