Hickory Dickory, up and down

and the pharaoh king shall drown

Hickory dickory, one two three

and men of God shall murder thee

if you say "bad pharaoh" you are dead

claimed disbeliever or will steal away your bread

dressed oddly i am, with colors in my face

I say "hickory dickory" and mock his grace

I jump and flip and do magic tricks

Just to reveal his lies and tricks

I make laughs and smiles for human race

While hiding tears behind my painted face

I mock the lair, the cheater and the fake

I make smiles, but for justice's sake



One day the Pharaoh's soldiers burst through my door

seize my arms and knock me down to the floor

They say i am a disbeliever, a rebel, an enemy of God

I cry for help!! "I am no enemy of God"

I only mock the pharaoh, what's so odd?

They say i am forcing people to rebel

when i dance and sing "jingle bell"

They say they will cut my tongue

So i would say no more wrong

I say you cut my tongue i shall mime

I shall use those hands of mine

You cut my hands

and i shall dance

And i will always say it...

till my dying day..

Hickory dickory, up and down

and the pharaoh king shall drown
