what a confusion. a fellow lost his watch in a railway station

an attractive girl named melda was accused of being a burglar

she had no purse

no pocket in her clothes

tic

tic! that's all they're hearin' but they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding

under suspicion

they took her down to the police station

and they called on the matron who examined all the clothes she had on

the matron examined with care. she even made her take down her long hair

she searched till she couldn't search no more but the watch now tickin' louder than before

and you hearing

confusion now in the station. the matron searching by inspiration

watch tickin' louder and louder and the matron moving up closer

the matron convinced there's no doubt. she put her hand inside melda's mouth

do you know her idea cam true? when she found the watch

it was ten to two

still tickin'
