Is It MY House? The Clock Song
Angela:
It’s really quite confusing
Whenever we are using
Yet another brand new postal code
In a brand new different space
A brand-new, different place
On quite another brand-new different road
But is it my house?
Can I live here?
How long will it suffice?
Until my folks grouse
And tell me, “Now, Dear, we’re
Moving to someplace really nice!”
Dee:
First I’ve got a one o’clock
And then I’ve got a two o’clock
A three ‘clock and then I’ve got a four
I haven’t any time to talk
My afternoon is chock a block
Full. Sorry, I’ve no time for more
Angela:
It’s really quite annoying
The way they keep employing
Their energies on packing and on moving up
This house is a colonial
It’s really quite baronial
I can see they think that we’re improving, but
Is it my house?
Can I live here?
How long will it suffice?
Until my folks grouse
And tell me, “Now, Dear we’re
Moving to someplace really nice!”
Dan:
I catch a train at one o’clock
Get to the plane at two o’clock
At three o’clock I’m off to Singapore
I haven’t any time to talk
My afternoon is chock a block
Full. Sorry, I’ve no time for more
Angela:
I hate to be a wailer
I hate to grumble but
I’d be happy in a trailer
I’d be happy in a hut
I wouldn’t get all weepy
Not in the least bit hurt
If we lived in a teepee
If we lived in a yurt
Dee:
Move my one o’clock to two o’clock
My four o’clock to three o’clock
And switch around my two o’clock to four
Dan:
If I miss my train at one o’clock
I’ll miss my plane at two o’clock
I’ll lose my shirt if I miss Singapore
Angela: Dee & Dan:
It causes me frustration One o’clock, yeah, let’s talk
Takes all my concentration Two o’clock, chock a block
To memorize another new address Ah!
Apartment or a suite Neat!
Boulevard or street Sweet!
Really! Sometimes I have to guess! Oh, yes!
But is it my house Three o’clock
Can I live here? Taking stock
How long will it suffice? Four o’clock
Until my folks grouse It’s a lock
And tell me, “Now, Dear we’re See you in
Moving to someplace really nice!” Singapore!
Angela: Dee and Dan:
You know that I don’t mean to My one o’clock is seen to
Merely gripe and vent That’s exactly what I meant
But I’d be happy in a lean-to That’s what we’re agreein’ to
I’d be happy in a tent The contracts have been sent
I know this house is big you Very big, it is true
Don’t have to tell me that Telling you where it’s at
But, I’d be happy in an igloo I dig you
Or a two room flat! Never that, no!
It’s really quite perplexing First I’ve got a one o’clock
It makes me wonder And then I’ve got a two o’clock
Are they looking for something more? A three o’clock and then I’ve got a four
It’s very vexing I haven’t any time to talk
Trying to understand My afternoon is chock a block
What they are looking for! Full. Sorry I’ve no time for more
Let’s make this our house Move my two o’clock to one o’clock
Let’s just live here My three o’clock to two o’clock
We’ve found what we’re looking for And switch around my one o’clock to four
Let us not grouse If I miss my train at one o’clock
Oh, please say “Now, Dear, we’re I’ll miss my plane at two o’clock
Never gonna move anymore!” I’ll never, ever get to Singapore
