Hickory Dickey Dock

A little mouse with a curious mind,

Climbed up the clock to see what he’d find.

Every chime brought a brand-new surprise,

A lesson to learn through his tiny eyes.

Hickory, dickory, dock,

The mouse ran up the clock.

The clock struck one,

The mouse ran down,

Hickory, dickory, dock.

At one he learned, it’s okay to be scared,

But courage grows each time it’s shared.

Even small steps can make you strong,

Fear won’t last, it won’t last long.

The clock struck two,

The mouse said “boo!”

Hickory, dickory, dock.

At three he laughed, and joy took flight,

Sometimes the smallest things feel right.

Life is sweeter when you shout “whee!”

Happiness grows when you set it free.

The clock struck three,

The mouse went “whee!”

Hickory, dickory, dock.

At four he learned when the time was done,

To head back home from all the fun.

Every journey, every day,

Teaches something along the way.

The clock struck four,

The mouse ran out the door.

Hickory, dickory, dock.

Tick-tock, tick-tock,

Life’s a climb like a clock.

Step by step, don’t be afraid,

Every hour brings a choice you’ve made.
