"I'm a clockwork creep And I can't get to sleep They wind me up and let me go And I can't unwind Going out of my mind My time is coming soon you know"
Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb
"I'm a jumbo jet With a brand new set Of passengers and bags and crew I'll spread my wings - Do a thousand things To prove how good I am to you"
Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb
Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb
Meanwhile in the cargo of escargot The temperature is rising Advertising that our time is running Down, down, down, down, down Oh with just one minute to live Oh, no you'll never get me up in one of these again 'Cos what goes up must come Down, down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down, down
Oh, the gravity of the situation It's only my willpower That keeps this thing in operation But we're gonna crash that's for certain The pilot is too busy flirtin' And he ain't aware That there's a bomb down there And if he don't do something it's curtains
"Now just hold on," Said the little bomb, "If you were just to hold my hands Then time would stop The plot would flop And jumbo would be safe to land"
Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb
My landings are the envy Of Sabena and Pan Am From Chattanooga to Japan I taxi through the airways - What a swell little plane What a fine little plane What a great little plane I am
"Hang on one sec I'm a clockwork wreck And though my fuse is burning slow Must keep my date to detonate Goodbye, ta ta, and cheerio
Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb
Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb
Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb Tick a tick a time bomb
