( John Healy)
(Tune: Old Oaken
Bucket)
(IWW Song Book 14th Edition, 1918)
How dear to my heart are those chimes in
the morning
That yank me from bed with melodious thrill;
How sweet is the sound of the
regular warning
That yells that it's time that I hike to the mill.
Without it I'd sleep
till the sun had arisen,
Be late to the job that my boss lets me use;
Get canned, perhaps
steal, maybe land in a prison,
If the chimes didn't hustle me out of my
snooze.
Chorus: The faithful alarm clock;
The rattling alarm clock;
The dollar alarm clock
That rests on my shelf.
What a blessing it was
when the thing was invented:
It beats the slave -driver who came with his stick;
It rests
on the shelf in the shack that I rented;
It never gets hungry, it never gets sick.
If
overly weary I take a tin bucket
And place the alarm clock down into the thing;
When it
chimes in the morning it doubles the racket;
It would wake up the dead when the two of them
ring.
Sometimes the good woman gets worn and weary
And says we are hauling too much
of a load;
I tell her the journey would look still more dreary
If the dollar alarm clock
should fail to explode.
Then here's to my booster that only needs winding;
And here's to
the victim that just keeps alive,
The boss gets the money and I do the grinding
The clock
starts the circus at quarter past five.
