Hickory Dickory Dock 

Behind the music:

Hickory Dickory Dock is a traditional English nursery rhyme from at least the 18th century. Originally used to teach children how to tell time, its simple rhythm made it easy to remember. The melody is often set in a sing-song 6/8 time, mimicking the ticking of a clock. Over the years, it has inspired countless musical versions in various styles. Its playful structure makes it popular for both early education and creative reinterpretation.
