Tic-e-tic-a-Toc
My zither ringing
Tic-e-tic-a-Toc
To sounds of singing
No, no, no, no, no,
All else may leave me
Comrades still are zither and I

Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Tic-e-tic-e-tic-e

Tic-e-tic-a-Toc
Then forth we're faring
Tic-e-tic-a-Toc
No frown we're wearing
No, no, no, no, no
For fear is folly
Made for music are zither and I
