Stretch out the hour hand
See where on the clock it lands
The last number it went by
Is the number five
Stretch out the minute hand
See where on the clock it lands
Each line equals one minute
So the time is five o' six
Every number the hour hand goes by
Represents one hour of time
Count the minutes out of sixty
And you'll be telling time with me
Stretch out the hour hand
See where on the clock it lands
Nine's the last number it went by
So the hour hand points to nine
Stretch out the minute hand
See where on the clock it lands
It's pointing right at the five
So the time is nine twenty five
Every number the hour hand goes by
Represents one hour of time
Then count the minutes out of sixty
And you'll be telling time with me
Stretch out the hour hand
See where on the clock it lands
The hour hand last passed the eight
So the hour of time is eight
Stretch out the minute hand
See where on the clock it lands
It points to four precisely
So the time is eight twenty
Every number the hour hand goes by
Represents one hour of time
Then count the minutes out of sixty
And you'll be telling time with me
The hour hand is shorter always
It goes around the clock twice each day
The first time round is AM
The second time it's called PM
AM starts at midnight's moon
And continues until noon
So we call noon twelve PM
And it goes till twelve AM
Every number the hour hand goes by
Represents one hour of time
Then count the minutes out of sixty
And you'll be telling time with me
We count five, ten, fifteen, twenty
Twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
Forty-five, fifty, fifty-five, sixty
Minutes on each clock we see
We count five, ten, fifteen, twenty
Twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
Forty-five, fifty, fifty-five, sixty
Minutes on each clock we see
Every number the hour hand goes by
Represents one hour of time
Then count the minutes out of sixty
And you'll be telling time with me
