The Cabinet of Wonders Song
 

Chorus:
Tock, Tick, Tock,
There’s magic in the clock.
Your quest needs vision
That evil cannot block.
Stand for truth,
See the way.
Teamwork’s crucial
To pave the way.

Verse 1:
In old Bohemia,
An evil prince took power.
The mean and selfish ruler,
Caused pain in every hour.
He hired a great artist.
Kronos was his name,
To build a clock of beauty
Unique, with none the same.

  
  Chorus:
Tock, Tick, Tock,
There’s magic in the clock.
Your quest needs vision
That evil cannot block.
Stand for truth,
See the way.
Teamwork’s crucial
To pave the way.		 Verse 2:
Kronos had made many toys
Magic creatures bright,
Metal, growing, learning toys
Giving joy and light.
His daughter, Petra,
Gave hers a special name.
Astrophil, the spider,
To help her was his aim.		  
  Chorus:
Tock, Tick, Tock,
There’s magic in the clock.
Your quest needs vision
That evil cannot block.
Stand for truth,
See the way.
Teamwork’s crucial
To pave the way.		 Verse 3:
A wagon pulled by horses
Bumped along a road.
Who would guess it carried
A fearsome, awful load?
What was in the bundle?
What harm could he have done?
A punishment from the prince,
Appalled by everyone. 		 
  Chorus:
Tock, Tick, Tock,
There’s magic in the clock.
Your quest needs vision
That evil cannot block.
Stand for truth,
See the way.
Teamwork’s crucial
To pave the way. 		Verse 4:
When Kronos finished up the clock,
No reward did he get.
The prince took the artist’s eyes.
And left him with a threat.
“I’ll unlock the magic
You built within the clock.
Then I’ll control the weather.
Won’t that be a shock?”		  
  Chorus:
Tock, Tick, Tock,
There’s magic in the clock.
Your quest needs vision
That evil cannot block.
Stand for truth,
See the way.
Teamwork’s crucial
To pave the way.

Verse 5:
Angered by the prince’s deeds
Petra had a plan.
To outsmart the evil man,
She would take a stand.
With her spider, Astrophil,
To Prague she’d find her way
To steal back her father’s eyes
So she could save the day.
