About this song
A lively English counting rhyme from the 1700s built around the image of a mouse and a clock. Its 'tick-tock' rhythm and chiming make it a playful introduction to sound, rhythm, and numbers in the UK.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Tap a steady 'tick-tock' beat on your baby's tummy.
- Run your fingers up like a mouse, then clap 'one!'.
- Make the clock-chime sound together.
Lyrics & Rhyme
Hickory, dickory, dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory, dickory, dock.
