Numberock - Telling Time to the Nearest Hour Lyrics

I want to tell you all about my Saturday
But before I do, listen, I've just got to say
Sixty minutes make up every hour on the clock
And thirty minutes is half an hour, tick tock
So remember on the clock, thirty is half an hour
Now let me tell you of the day that almost went sour
Oh yeah
I was headed to the park, I decided to walk
As I left I looked up and saw the time on the clock
The short hand pointed to the nine, and I knew it was nine
When I saw the long hand made an upward vertical line
Oh yeah yeah
When that long minute hand points right to the twelve
The short hour hand points to the time we can tell
Time we can tell
When the hour hand's on a number and the minute hand's up
We know it's o'clock, whether breakfast or sup
Oh yeah yeah
If the hour hand's right between two numbers per se
It's half past the hour, or six-thirty that day
Yes indeed
With the long minute hand that represents the minutes gone by
It's easy to tell time and you'll soon see why
Each number on the clock has five minutes in it
If you skip count by five, you'll tell the time lickety-split
After hours of playing, I took my sidewalk chalk
Thinking wouldn't it be fun to draw the time on a clock
Oh yeah
Three-thirty, the hour hand is half past three
The minute hand's at six, halfway round, which is thirty
Which is thirty, which is thirty, which is thirty
I remembered I had to meet my friend Lexi
Her house was far away, so I left in a hurry
A hurry, hurry, hurry
One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock
Four o'clock, five o'clock, six o'clock
Seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock
Ten o'clock, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock
I got to Lexi's door and then rapped, knock knock
She answered the door, and was pointing to the clock
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
The hour hand was right between, the five and the four
The minute hand was at six pointing down toward the floor
Oh yeah yeah
So the time was four-thirty, and she looked annoyed
You said you'd be coming no later than four
Oh boy
When the hour hand's on a number and the minute hand's up
We know it's o'clock, whether breakfast or sup
Oh yeah yeah
If the hour hand's right between two numbers per se
It's half past the hour, or three-thirty that day
With the long minute hand that represents the minutes gone by
It's easy to tell time and you'll soon see why
Each number on the clock has five minutes in it
If you skip count by five, you'll tell the time lickety-split
We went to the movies, and I bought us two tickets
The movie we went to see started right at six
Oh yeah
The hour hand was at six; the minute hand pointed up
She said, are we almost late
And I was like,, yup
When we finally got our seat, she told me I was cute
But I'd eaten beans for lunch and let out a loud toot
Oh no no no no
Twelve-thirty, one-thirty, two-thirty, three-thirty, four-thirty, five-thirty
Six-thirty, seven-thirty, eight-thirty, nine-thirty, ten-thirty, eleven-thirty
On the way home we walked by the fishing dock
We looked up and saw that it was now eight o'clock
My, my, my
The minute hand pointed up, the hour hand, at the eight
She said, I'm supposed to be home by now, oh great
Oh great
Oh great
Oh no no
So we went of in a hurry, we ran, we bounded
To get Lexi home fast, so she wouldn't be grounded
Oh yeah yeah
When the hour hand's on a number and the minute hand's up
We know it's o'clock, whether breakfast or sup
Oh yeah yeah
If the hour hand's right between two numbers per se
It's half past the hour, or four-thirty that day
Yeah
With the long minute hand that represents the minutes gone by
It's easy to tell time, and you'll soon see why
Each number on the clock has five minutes in it
If you skip count by five, you'll tell the time lickety-split
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah
