Participative Nursery Rhyme reflected in the lyrics
A nonsense song using alliteration and allowing a small child or even a baby to mimic the sound of a clock chiming one at the
appropriate point in the lyrics. Obviously intended to introduce children to the rudiments and importance of telling the time. The origins and history are unknown but the first publication date for this nursery rhyme is 1744. |
