Now the big hand’s on the 12
The little hand’s on the 3
The big hand’s on the 12
The little hand’s on the 3
So tell me the time, tell me the time
Tell me the ti-i-ime please

CHORUS
It must be 3 o’clock, 3 o’clock
I tell you it’s 3 o’clock, 3 o’clock

Now the big hand’s on the 12
The little hand’s on the 4
The big hand’s on the 12
The little hand’s on the 4
So tell me the time, tell me the time
I’ve asked you this question before

CHORUS (4 o’clock)

And it’s 1 2 3 o’clock then it’s 4 5 6 o’clock
And it’s 7 8 9 o’clock then it’s 10, 11, 12 o’clock
Rock round the clock, rock round the clock
Rock round the clock at midnight

Now the big hand’s on the 12
The little hand’s on the 10
The big hand’s on the 12
The little hand’s on the 10
So tell me the time, tell me the time
Tell me the ti-ime again

CHORUS (10 o’clock)

And it’s 1 2 3 o’clock
And it’s shoo be doo woo, shoo be doo wup
Then it’s 4 5 6 o’clock…
7 8 9…10 11 12…
