I wanna tell you all about my Saturday
But before I do, listen, I've just got to say
Sixty minutes make up every hour on the clock
And every number is five minutes
Tick tock
And twelve groups of five Sixty minutes make an hour
Now let me tell you of the day that almost went sour
Oh yeah
I was headed to the park I decided to walk
As I left, I looked up and saw the time on the clock
The short-hand was after nine Then one, two, three, four, five
Five groups of five meant it was nine twenty-five
Oh yeah, yeah
If you can skip count by five until times twelve
There will be no time that you cannot tell, cannot tell
When the hour hands on a number and the minute hands up
We know it's o'clock whether breakfast or sup
Oh yeah, yeah
If the hour hands right between two numbers per se
It's half past the hour or six-thirty that day
With the long minute hand that represents the minutes gone by
It's easy to tell time and you'll soon see why
Each number on the clock Has five minutes in it
If you skip count by five you'll tell the time lickety-split
After an hour of playing I took my sidewalk chalk
Thinking wouldn't it be fun to draw the time on a clock
Oh yeah
The hour hand was pointing just past eleven
Two groups of five was ten so it was eleven-ten, eleven-ten
I remembered I had to meet my friend Lexi
Her house was far away so I left in a hurry
AM starts at midnight and goes till noon
At noon it's twelve PM
PM starts at noon and goes till midnight's moon
And midnight's twelve AM
I got to Lexi's door and then rapped knock, knock
She answered the door and was pointing to the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
The hour hand just after twelve the minute hand at the four
Four times five was twenty minutes, her foot tapped on the floor
Oh yeah, yeah
The time was twelve-twenty And she looked annoyed
You said you'd be coming no later than noon
Oh boy
When the hour hands on a number and the minute hands up
We know it's o'clock whether breakfast or sup
Oh yeah, yeah
If the hour hands right between two numbers per se
It's half past the hour or three-thirty that day
With the long minute hand that represents the minutes gone by
It's easy to tell time and you'll soon see why
Each number on the clock Has five minutes in it
If you skip count by five you'll tell the time lickety-split
We went to the movies, and I bought us two tickets
The movie we went to see started right at six
Oh yeah
The hour hand just past six, the minute hand at the one
She said, it's six-o-five, aren't we late
And I was like, um, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
When we finally got our seat she told me I was cute
But I'd eaten beans for lunch and let out a loud toot
Oh no, no, no
Here's a tip, stretch out the hour hand
Where on the clock does it land
The last number it went by
Tells you the hour of time
On the way home we walked by the fishing dock
We looked up and saw that it was now eight o'clock
My, my, my
The minute hand pointed up, the hour hand at the eight
She said, my curfew's quarter after eight
Oh great
That's eight-fifteen
Oh no, no
So we went off in a hurry, hurry
We ran, we bounded
To get Lexi home fast so she wouldn't be grounded
Oh yeah, yeah
When the hour hands on a number and the minute hands up
We know it's o'clock whether breakfast or sup
Oh yeah, yeah
If the hour hands right between two numbers per se
It's half past the hour or ten-thirty that day
With the long minute hand that represents the minutes gone by
It's easy to tell time and you'll soon see why
Each number on the clock Has five minutes in it
If you skip count by five you'll tell the time lickety-split
Oh yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
