The Riddle
What hangs on the wall, and shakes everyone's hand?? Who knows it, who knows it?? What hangs on the wall, has burned its butt?? Who knows it, who knows it?? What hangs on the wall goes Tick-Tock, if the clock falls down, is it broken??
The first one was a towel, the second a frying pan, the third you surely have already guessed yourself! We ask Peter: Peter what was it?? (Peter: The clock, the clock, the clock)
Correct, correct, correct, pop-correct. Correct, correct, correct, pop-correct. Correct, correct, correct, pop-correct. That's a good song!
What sticks to the wall is white and rough?? Who knows it, who knows it?? What lies on the floor is green and made of linoleum?? Who knows it, who knows it?? What's in the kitchen, clucks and waits for the water to boil??
The first was wallpaper, the second floor covering, the third you almost guessed yourself! I ask Peter again: Peter what was it?? (Peter: A clock, a clock)
Totally wrong, it was a chicken waiting for the water to boil so it can lay the egg, which boils for 4 and a half minutes! So: Learn, learn, learn, pop-learn. Learn, learn, learn, pop-learn. Learn, learn, learn, pop-learn. Learn, learn, learn, pop-learn. That's a great blues. I'll do a clarinet solo!
