My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf So it stood ninety years on the floor It was taller by half than the old man himself Though it weighed not a pennyweight more It was bought on the morn' of the day that he was born And was always his treasure and pride But it stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died Ninety years without slumbering - tic toc tic toc His life's seconds numbering - tic toc tic toc It stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died It was bought on the morn' of the day that he was born And was always his treasure and pride But it stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died Ninety years without slumbering - tic toc tic toc His life's seconds numbering - tic toc tic toc It stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died
