Well, turn it upside down,
Watch the candle, watch the clown
‘Cause there ain’t no way to stop your clock from getting around

Well, shake it side to side,
With your mind to a rising tide
‘Cause, you can take it on a trip of you could let it slide 

My clock is keeping time,
Maybe your clock don’t
My clock is keeping time,
Me and my good friends wrote

Well, turn it upside down, spin your wheels, mama go to town
‘Cause I never heard you to make such a sound

My clock is keepin’ time
Maybe your clock don’t
My clock is keepin’ time,
Me and my good friends wrote

Well, turn it upside down mama, shake it all around
And there ain’t no way they are gonna run me down

My clock is keepin’ time
Maybe your clock don’t
My clock is keepin’ time,
Me and my good friends wrote

Well, turn it upside down, take my hand, mama lead me ’round
‘Cause I never felt your, never felt your stand around

My clock is keepin’ time
Maybe your clock don’t
My clock is keepin’ time,
Me and my good friends wrote
