Tic, Tic, Tic Lyrics by Robert Mitchum

Calypso - Is Like So...

0

What a confusion
A fellow lost his watch in the railroad station
What a confusion
A fellow lost his watch in the railroad station
A sagga girl named Dimelda
Was suspected of being a burglar
She had no purse, no pocket in her clothes
But where she hid the watch, only goodness knows
And they were hearing
Tic, tic, tic, everybody looking
Tic, tic, tic, seeing how they're searching
Tic, tic, tic, that's all they're hearing
But they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding
Under suspicion
They took her down to the police station
And sent for the matron
Who examined all the clothes that she had on
The matron examined with care
She even make her pull down her long hair
She searched and she couldn't search no more
But the watch was ticking louder than before
And they're hearing
Tic, tic, tic, everybody looking
Tic, tic, tic, seeing how they're searching
Tic, tic, tic, that's all they're hearing
But they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding
The matron hit on an idea
That she could find the watch around somewhere
She said she had an incentive
She could find the watch if given privilege
To divest Dimelda entirely
And search her as if she was crazy
The search was such, so they decide
That the matron turn Dimelda's inside outside
I'm hearing
Tic, tic, tic, everybody looking
Tic, tic, tic, seeing how they're searching
Tic, tic, tic, that's all they're hearing
But they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding
Confusion now in the station
They made the searching by inspiration
The watch ticking louder and louder
And the matron moving up closer
The matron is convinced, there's no doubt
She push her hand up inside Dimelda's mouth
And do you know, her idea came true
When she found the watch, it was ten to two
Tic, tic, tic, everybody looking
Tic, tic, tic, seeing how they're searching
Tic, tic, tic, that's all they're hearing
But they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding
