John, I agree...They're great, aren't they?<br /><br />John, I agree, and as for the 'Novelty' element, maybe it has something to do with the lyrics:<br /><br />Down in the hall the old oak clock<br />Fills the house with its tic-a-tic tock<br />All through the night the hands go round<br />While everyone is sleeping safe and sound.<br />In the hall at midnight nobody's about<br />All the doors are bolted and the lights are out<br />Not a single sound but tic-a-tic-a-tock<br />All the house resounds to the the RHYTHM OF THE CLOCK<br />Soon there comes a rumble underneath the floor<br />Squeaking up the chimney and scratching at the door<br />Crowds of little mice are running in a flock<br />Dancing up and down to the RHYTHM OF THE CLOCK<br />On the mantle shelf they romp around<br />Till all the pretty knick-knacks are on the ground,<br />On the curtain pole they hop and run<br />And scramble up the bannisters to join the fun.<br />All at once the cat comes creeping down the stairs<br />Sees the mice parading and takes them unawares<br />Little mice and big mice scatter at the shock<br />Not a sound again but the RHYTHM OF THE CLOCK.<br />Come and watch the mice at play,<br />You have never seen such a fine array<br />Soldiers answering the call<br />Marching in a troop round and round the hall<br />First to left and then to right<br />On and on they go till they're out of sight<br />Like an army in the night<br />To the swinging of the pendulum they're marching.<br /><br />(It kind of tailed off at the end, did they run out of rhymes?!)
