I wound it up,
I put it down, it wouldn't go
It didn't start, it wasn't fast,
it wasn't slow
It didn't budge, I couldn't notch,
it wouldn't
So I wound it up, I put it down,
it wouldn't go
It wouldn't move, I couldn't shove,
it wouldn't slide
It wouldn't slip, I couldn't push,
it didn't glide
I sen t it out, I called it back,
it didn't know
So I wound it up,
I put it down, it wouldn't go
It didn't buzz, it didn't whirr,
it didn't hum
It didn't speak, it didn't squeak,
cause it was dumb
But it was mine,
I loved it so by now you know
So I wound it up, I put it down,
it wouldn't go
It is n't square, rectangular,
it isn't round
But there it is,
it doesn't even make a sound
Perhaps in time it might give in,
and then I'll know
So I'll wind it up, I'll put it down,
and it might go
Yes, I'll wind it up, I'll put it down,
and it might go
Oh, I'll wind it up,
I'll put it down, and it might go
Why not? you
