Tick Tock
Dance Through Time: The Rhythm of Tick Tock by The Reveal
Lyrics
Tick Tock I go tick tock
Expressing the sound of a clock ticking, signifying time passing.
Cuz I'm just a little man on the clock clock
Feeling like a small person controlled by the demands of time.
Left to right I go left to right
Describing movement from left to right, possibly symbolizing routine or progression.
I wanna do a little dance no rest tonight
Wishing to engage in a lively activity without taking a break.
Rock your body just rock your body
Encouraging movement and rhythm in one's body.
Just rock your body with me
Repeated encouragement to dance and move rhythmically together.
Rock your body just rock your body
-Just rock your body with me
-Ya I'm goin in
Expressing determination and motivation to elevate oneself, inviting others to join in dancing.
I'm goin up
-I'm goin
-I'm goin up
-Come on dance with me
-Tick Tock I go tick Tock
Reiterating the ticking sound of a clock, emphasizing a desire to dance throughout the night.
I wanna dance all night to the click clock
Desiring continuous movement and dance without a break.
Left to right I go left to right
-I wanna do a little dance no rest tonight
-Rock your body just rock your body
Continued encouragement for rhythmic movement and dance.
Just rock your body with me
-Rock your body just rock your body
-Just rock your body with me
-Well all the ladies on the clock
Calling for female participation in dancing, asking for specific dance moves to add flair and excitement to the rhythm.
Can we see what you got
-Can you add a little spice
-To the click clock
-Make the hips rock
-Add a dip and add a drop
-Can you shake it real slow
-And add a quick stop
-Breakdown
Reiteration of the call to rock one's body rhythmically.
Rock your body
-Rock your body with me
-Ya I'm goin in
Reasserting the determination to engage in energetic dancing.
I'm goin up
-I'm goin in
-I'm goin up
-Come on dance with me
-I said round and round
Expressing the idea of moving around and being open to having fun despite having responsibilities, keeping the rhythm simple and gradually building it.
I go to town to town
-I got work to do
-But I'm down to clown
-Rhythm on rhythm in rhythm
-But I keep it simple
-Get it I get it I get it
-Little by little
-Ya I'm goin in
Repeated determination to elevate oneself and a continued invitation to dance.
I'm goin up
-I'm goin in
-I'm goin up
-Come on dance with me
