lyrics

Tick tock turn back the clock in Plymouth for a spell Tick tock I’m Plymouth Rock and I have secrets to tell Long, long, long before the day that you were born I would look out at the bay but sad was I each morn Lonely, lonely was I, for I needed a friend Someone who would play with me and make me smile again Tick tock turn back the clock in Plymouth for a spell Tick tock I’m Plymouth Rock and I have secrets to tell One day after a storm on the beach I saw Clams, quahogs, and Wampanoag Some friends for me I thought Hey there you over there, excuse me please I said But slowly they went away when the tide came in Tick tock turn back the clock in Plymouth for a spell Tick tock I’m Plymouth Rock and I have secrets to tell Tick tock turn back the clock in Plymouth for a spell Tick tock I’m Plymouth Rock and I have secrets to tell Children do listen well for I have secrets to tell

Fine day, fine day smiling all my troubles away Sun is shining, clouds good-byeing Such a fine, fine day Sunrise blue skies, weather-wise it’s A-Okay No denying what I’m eyeing Such a fine, fine day Wish today could last forever Love it I do.

A Speck In The Distance 02:20
lyrics
buy track
It’s Winter in Plymouth, gale winds are blowing The ocean is cold and the sun’s far away A speck in the distance on the horizon Has captured my interest all day today Ooooooooooooo I’ve watched it for hours it seems to be moving Closer and closer growing in size Too big for a driftwood too small for a rain cloud This spot on the water amazes my eyes Is it an angel come down from heaven Or is it the play friend I’ve waited for Is it a figment of my imagination I’ve never seen anything like it before A speck in the distance A speck in the distance A speck in the distance

Protect This Rock 02:02

They’ve chipped away at Plymouth Rock For one hundred years and it needs to stop If it goes on and on and on Before we know it the rock will be gone What say you Town Fathers What say you Town Fathers We’ll protect this rock, it marks the spot Where they disembarked, we’ll protect this rock Although it’s just made of granite There’s nothing like it on the planet The steppingstone of our forefathers Should not be chiseled by souvenir hunters What say you Town Fathers What say you Town Fathers We’ll protect this rock, it marks the spot Where they disembarked, we’ll protect this rock So we moved the rock but it got dropped Oh we tried so hard to protect this rock Rock, rock We’ll protect this rock

Sights and sounds of the sea I hear you calling me Sadly I had to go Oh how I miss you so Don’t know how long it has been It seems an eternity Not a thing means more to me Than the sights and sounds of the sea Waves crash, onto the shore Whoosh splash, sounds I adore Small crustaceans, peeps of my hood Know if I could, be with you I would And if I had some wings, I’d fly to you and stay Forever oh I’d never leave the sights and sounds of the sea La la la la la la La la la la la la Waves crash, onto the shore Whoosh splash, sounds I adore Small crustaceans, peeps of my hood Know if I could, be with you I would And if I had some wings, I’d fly to you and stay Forever oh I’d never leave Fame and I just don’t agree No, nothing is more dear to me Than the sights and sounds Sights and sounds Sights and sounds of the sea

Have you ever visited me In Plymouth Massachusetts I’m the proudest little rock you’ve ever seen Wanna pop on by feel free You don’t need an invitation To see my rockin’ place in history I’m smaller than I once was Yet I’m stronger and it’s because The folks in Plymouth take great care of me I’ve got a house down by the sea I’d love your company I’m Plymouth Rock, have you ever visited Well if not, do consider it What a spot, have you ever visited me
