Springtime brings the swallow and the bluebird home,
The happy little swallow knows her hour to come;
But not a bird is truer to the time of coming back,
Than a merry little clacker with his clack, clack, clack.
Click, click, click! Clack, clack, clack!
A merry little clacker with his clack, clack, clack.
Move your nimble fingers in a brisk quick way,
Some people could not do it if they tried all day;
This morning try to practise, and acquire the very knack,
And to-night you'll hear an answer with a clack, clack, clack.
Click, click, etc.
Through the merry market and down the long parade,
Along the crowded street and beneath the pleasant shade,
The tramp of feet you'll hear with their marching clack, clack, clack,
While the nimble little fingers play a clack, clack, clack.
Click, click, etc.
