“Tick Tock” is a song that had originally been written for Charity Bearity, with the intention of teaching time to children. However, Mae and Gregg rewrote parts of the song on their own, which is the version Mae plays. It is playable in the Weird Autumn update on Mae’s bass in her room, only if she and Bea check the Charity Bearity section in the Library. Listen here.

Lyrics[]

Come along, my children
Come and sing with me
Telling time is easy, count it
One
Two
Three

Come along, my children
Come and learn with me
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Toooock

Telling time is easy
This is what we say
Each clock has a special face, so
Come and look their way
Hour, hand, and minute
Finely carved from wood - they’d
Crush you right between the middle
If they only could

Hey everybody - let’s look at the clock
Ticking off the minutes till the hour’s struck
Count the precious seconds, running out of luck
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Toooock

Telling time is easy
This is what they say
Look at every passing second
Till they’ve passed away
No one can avoid it
Time will come for you
Best to make your peace, because there’s
Nothing you can do

Time is running out
And I’m prob’ly trapped in
Time - still running out
Yet I’m feeling nothin’
Time is running out
And I’m prob’ly trapped in

Time - still running out
Yet I’m feeling nothin’
Time is all we’ve got
But we don’t have much and
Time will soon run out

Yet I’m feeling nothin’
Time is all we’ve got
But we don’t have much and
Time will soon run out
Oh yeah!

Hey everybody - let’s look at the clock
Ticking off the minutes till the hour's struck
Count the precious seconds, running out of luck
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Toooock

Look out everybody - oh here comes the clock
Stomping through the hallway now the hour's struck
Time's got us running but we're really stuck
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Toooock

Now
You’ve
Learned
With
Me

Tick
Tock

Trivia[]

  • The song bears similarity to those in the series Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, specifically the song featured in the second episode, "TIME". Both are educational songs about time, before derailing into something darker about the inevitability of death.
