Chicks with bricks come
Chicks with blocks come
Chicks with bricks and blocks and clocks come
Look, sir. Look, sir. Mr. Knox, sir
Let's do tricks with bricks and blocks, sir
Let's do tricks with chicks and clocks, sir
First, I'll make a quick trick brick stack
Then I'll make a quick trick block stack
You can make a quick trick chick stack
You can make a quick trick clock stack
And here's a new trick, Mr. Knox
Socks on chicks and chicks on fox
Fox on clocks on bricks and blocks
Bricks and blocks on Knox on box
Now we come to ticks and tocks, sir
Try to say this Mr. Knox, sir
Clocks on fox tick
Clocks on Knox tock
Six sick bricks tick
Six sick chicks tock
"Please, sir. I don't like this trick, sir.
My tongue isn't quick or slick, sir.
I get all those ticks and clocks, sir,
mixed up with the chicks and tocks, sir.
I can't do it, Mr. Fox, sir"
I'm so sorry, Mr. Knox, sir.

Here's an easy game to play
Here's an easy thing to say
New socks
Two socks
Whose socks?
Sue's socks
Who sews whose socks?
Sue sews Sue's socks
Who sees who sew whose new socks, sir?
You see Sue sew Sue's new socks, sir

"That's not easy, Mr. Fox, sir"

Who comes?
Crow comes
Slow Joe Crow comes
Who sews crow's clothes?
Sue sews crow's clothes
Slow Joe Crow sews whose clothes?
Sue's clothes
Sue sews socks of fox in socks now
Slow Joe Crow sews Knox in box now
Sue sews rose on Slow Joe Crow's clothes
Fox sews hose on Slow Joe Crow's nose
Hose goes
Rose grows
Nose hose goes some
Crow's rose grows some
"Mr. Fox!
I hate this game, sir
This game makes my tongue quite lame, sir"
Mr. Knox, sir, what a shame, sir

{.....]

Try to say this, Mr. Knox, please....
Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew
While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew
Freezy breeze made these three trees freeze
Freezy trees made these trees' cheese freeze
That's what made these three free fleas sneeze

"Stop it! Stop it!
That's enough, sir
I can't say such silly stuff, sir"
Very well, then, Mr. Knox, sir.

Let's have a little talk about tweetle beetles
What do you know about tweetle beetles? Well...
When tweetle beetles fight
It's called a tweetle beetle battle
And when they battle in a puddle
It's a tweetle beetle puddle battle
AND when tweetle beetles battle with paddles in a puddle
They call it a tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle
AND...
When beetles battle beetles in a puddle paddle battle
And the beetle battle puddle is a puddle in a bottle
They call this a tweetle beetle bottle puddle paddle battle muddle.
AND...
When beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles
and the bottle's on a poodle and the poodle's eating noodles
...they call this a muddle puddle tweetle poodle beetle noodle
bottle paddle battle.
AND...
"Now wait a minute, Mr. Socks Fox!
When a fox is in the bottle where the tweetle beetles battle
With their paddles in a puddle on a noodle-eating poodle
THIS is what they call
A tweetle beetle noodle poodle bottled paddled
Muddled duddled fuddled wuddled fox in socks, sir!
Fox in socks, our game is done, sir
Thank you for a lot of fun, sir"
