Shhhh-Tik-Tik-Tik

"Shhhh-tik-tik-tik,

Shhhh-tik-tik-tik."

The sprinkler seemed to say

On repeat all day.

Watering to keep grass green

In the summer heat,

"Shhhh-tik-tik-tik,

Shhhh-tik-tik-tik."

A place for children

To get wet and clean,

"Shhhh-tik-tik-tik,

Shhhh-tik-tik-tik."

The cool breeze it gives

When wind and water collide,

"Shhhh-tik-tik-tik,

Shhhh-tik-tik-tik."

On a farm in the evening

When colors fill the sky,

"Shhhh-tik-tik-tik,

Shhhh-tik-tik-tik."

"Shhhh-tik-tik-tik,

Shhhh-tik-tik-tik."

The sprinkler seemed to say

On repeat all day.
