A ricky-tick (A ricky tick)
A ricky-tick (A ricky tick)
(A ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky song)

In a ricky-tick house on a ricky-tick street
There's a ricky-ticky baby with a ricky-tick beat
There's a ricky-tick drum and a ricky-tick gong
To a ricky-ticky tune they call the ricky-tick song

A ricky ticky-boy on a ricky-ticky street
Plays a ricky-tick piano, ricky-ticky but sweet
A barrel of fun ricky-ticking along
When they ricky-tick together to the ricky-ticky song

(A ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky)
Ooh baby, ooh baby
(A ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky)
Ooh baby, ooh baby
(A ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky)
A ricky-tick (A ricky tick)
A ricky-tick (A ricky tick)
(A ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky song)

And the ricky-tick moon in the ricky-tick sky
Goes a rockin' to the rhythm of a ricky-tick guy
And the ricky-tick drum and the ricky-tick gong
Gets the neightbours ricky-ticky-ticky all night long

(A ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky)
Ooh baby, ooh baby
(A ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky)
Ooh baby, ooh baby
(A ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky)
A ricky-tick (A ricky tick)
A ricky-tick (A ricky tick)
(A ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky song)

And the ricky-tick house goes a rockin' along
With the ricky-ticky baby and a ricky-tick drum
And a ricky-tick guy sings the ricky-tick song
And the neightbours ricky-ticky-ticky all night long

(A ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky)
Ooh baby, ooh baby
(A ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky)
Ooh baby, ooh baby
(A ricky-ticky, ricky-ticky)
A ricky-ticky, that's the ricky-ticky song
A ricky-ticky, that's the ricky-ticky song
(A ricky-tick)
