The Song in Storybookland?

[Deeda]

What is it? My mom says she knows it, but I can't figure it out. Anyone know?

[Ataarii]

Can you make a soundflie of it? If you do, I should be able to find out.

[Deeda]

I'm not sure how. How do I do that?

Hmm...I don't think so.

It's from an old song called "My Grandfather's Clock";

My grandfather's clock
Was too large for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years on the floor;
It was taller by half
Than the old man himself,
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn
Of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride;

But it stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.
Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
It stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.....

This song/poem is often included in books of traditional nursery rhymes, which is probably why it was chosen for the Storybookland room music. Kind of odd, when you think about it. But then, nursery rhymes have always been pretty odd!

thats pretty odd.

Well I like the tune, not the lyrics LOL .

I never knew there were words! lol But I have noticed that the Small World Import's music was on a Wheat Thin commercial. And I have also noticed that some of the sounds from VMK are in commercials too. Like for example, the whoosh noise you hear when you enter a different room is in another commerical, but I don't remember which.

Try this part; I believe this is where the music starts in that room.

Edit: Yes, just checked it. It plays that section and then repeats it.
