D-DU-UDU
Oh,  Mr. Hamilton, what  have you done?
Look  at this terrible trend  you've begun!
You  make me sick, you contemptible  dog,
 I blame you  for the death of the cog!
 Clocks used to be such magnificent things
 Beautiful sprockets and dazzling springs
 But you gave the people your digital beast
 And in turn now all gears are deceased
How  things have changed from when I  was a boy!
 Clockwork  would tick and would bring  me much joy
 But,  with your advent, there's no  need to wind –
 Everything  charming has been  left behind!
 Oh, Mr. Hamilton, you dirty fiend
 Your modern timepiece is cruel and obscene!
 I was a lover of gears great and small
 They  all were my friends and you've murdered  them all!
 Aaaahhh...
 How could a person commit such a crime -
 To murder immaculate keepers of time?
 Why should a person so foul get away?
 Hamilton, you're gonna pay!
 So, Mr. Hamilton, just watch your back
 Hide all those digital clocks on your rack
 They'll soon end up smashed to bits in a bog
 Because you,  you,  you,  you,  YOU
 Caused the DEATH OF THE COG!
 Aaaahhh...
