[Verse 1] My grandfather gave me his favorite gold watch, Engraved with his initials and a tiny scratch. I wore it to the fair while buying lemonade, When a rogue gust of wind sent a tent on parade. A startled prize pig went stampeding right past, Knocked my arm, snapped the strap—oh, it vanished so fast! It bounced off a tuba, sailed over a fence, And landed in a top hat by pure chance. --- [Chorus] Round and round the crazy dominoes fall, No logic, no reason, no sense to it all! From pocket to paw, from the clouds to the dirt, The wildest chain reaction ever seen on this earth. When the universe conspires with a lucky kick, Fortune plays the strangest little magic trick! --- [Verse 2] That panicked magician took flight on the spot, Pulled a dove from the hat—and the dove grabbed the watch! A sudden summer storm made the feathers get wet, Dropped the shiny ticking ticker on a dump truck bed. Truck hit a pothole, watch bounced in the air, A greedy little crow said, "I'll put that right there!" He took it to his nest on a crooked oak limb, Right above the creek where the dog jumped in! --- [Chorus] Round and round the crazy dominoes fall, No logic, no reason, no sense to it all! From pocket to paw, from the clouds to the dirt, The wildest chain reaction ever seen on this earth. When the universe conspires with a lucky kick, Fortune plays the strangest little magic trick! --- [Bridge] A squirrel threw an acorn, knocked it down to the stream! It drifted like a compass in a runaway dream, A kid on a bike hooked it right on his pedal, Spinning through the mud and the rusty old metal. --- [Verse 3] Three whole years later, planting flowers in the yard, Digging through the flower bed and working real hard. My shovel hit a stone, washed the dirt from the face— Grandpa's little scratches were all in their place! Ticking in the soil where the fair pig fled, Right back where I started by my own flower bed! --- [Outro] Tick, tock, tick, tock, You can't lose luck when it runs the clock! Yeah, it's good to have it back!
