Tonight at the bar
At the station bar, haggard Igor's wasted
He barely stops drinking
Because his Katia, his pretty Katia
Just left him
His Katie dumped him
He drew a blank
That grand duke with his tricks
His schemes, his White-Russian ruses
My tactic was crap
says Igor as he nods off
dead drunk at the counter
A White Russian who's black
What a weird twist, they laugh
the bawdy revelers in the bar
because Igor's still asleep there
But near his ear
A marvel, a vermilion alarm clock
pours advice into him
while he sleeps
Tick-tock tick-tock
Your Katie left you
Tick-tock tick-tock
Your Katie left you
Tick-tock tick-tock
You're cuckolded, what're you waiting for
Get wasted, you're cuckolded
Just gotta, just gotta get smashed
and leave your neighborhood
Your Katie left you
Your tactic was crap
Your tactic was crap
Your Katie left you
Take off your cap and swap
your mud-caked sweater
and your knife-cut crust
that they've picked at so much
for a prized jalopy
four écus counted out
and quit your neighborhood
Your Katie left you
Your Katie left you
Your Katie left you
Your Katie left you
Right next door
worn-out hookers
were teasing a naughty cocker
and gaunt coquettes
while knitting
cackled and chattered and criticized
a loony count
who counted with tics
a whole heap of platform tickets
when all of a sudden
Tick-tock-tick driiiing
In the morning what a wake-up
Damn, what an alarm clock
cries the White Russian in fear
For a ringing
That's one heck of a ring
