[HW]  Clang, clunk, clatter, click, clink, clank, clippety-clop.

Clang, clunk, clatter, click, clink, clank.  It never will stop.

I hear those sounds all day long,

Even when I sing a song.

Clang, clunk, clatter, click, clink, clank, clippety-clop.

Clang, clunk, clatter, click, clink, clank.  I wish it would stop.

I never should have moved into the city.

The country was so nice and quiet.

‘Cause every time I try to go to sleep here,

I dream I’m in the middle of a riot!

Clang, clunk, clatter, click, clink, clank, clippety-clop.

Clang, clunk, clatter, click, clink, clank.  Oh, please, let’s stop.

When I sleep, it’s such a bore.

I can’t even hear myself snore!

Clang, clunk, clatter, click, clink, clank.  It’s gettin’ so bad.

Clang, clunk, clatter, click, clink, clank.  It’s drivin’ me mad.

I never have a clue to where it comes from.

I only know I hear it loud and clear.

It makes me ????? to stop it,

I have to put bananas in my ears!
