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 Tic
