Loki's sensible nonsense of nonsensical sense

What makes Colonel Tick-Tock tick

, ,

Get set
to travel through yesterday!
You bet
adventure's right 'round the way!
Forget
your cares, 'cause fun's here to stay
It's Colonel Tick-Tock time!

Take a mind-bending trip to anywhen,
with the Royal Chrono-Patrol!
Up is down,
squares are round,
and now is then,
when you travel via time-hole!

You'll see
that you can meet anyone.
Take tea
(jolly good!)
with Attila the Hun!
Feel free
to set your watches for fun!
It's Colonel Tick-Tock time!

---

So cheers,
it's been a marvelous trip!
Seems years
since I've had such a pip!
My dears,
I trust your lips did a flip,
for Colonel Tick-Tock Time.

A decade, a year
might well disappear
a fantastical, magical trick!
What's a month here and there,
I've got oodles to spare,
that's what makes Colonel Tick-Tock tick... tock... tick.. tock...

I made a solemn oath
to Her Majesty the Queen
back in jolly old London Town!
In regards to the sun
and the British Empire
that bright burning ball shan't ever go down!

Hooray! for the man of the hour!
Parades! and garlands of flower!
Make way! for chronological power!
It's Colonel Tick-Tock time!

Can't wait
for the next mystery!
Our date
to unwind history!
Your fate
(right mate!)
will take a new twist you'll see!

It's Colonel Tick-Tock
(with my trick-clock!)
time,
It's Colonel
Tick-Tock
time!

And if anyone can make out what they sing during the [unintelligible]s, I'd be eternally grateful. Or, you know, grateful for a couple of hours. One of those two. Could go either way.

Potential gratitude abounds, regardless.


EDIT: Obdormio snatched the first piece of Eternal Or Possibly A Few Hours' Worth Of Gratitude! One to go, folks.

EDIT THE SECOND: By the beard of Odin, he snagged BOTH!

Obdormio writes: The more I think about it, the more I think that the word must be "lids"... but when I listen, it still sounds like "lips", dangit!

Getting to that point was what caused me to contact you and ask for your opinion in the first place...
