Ticklish Tom

Did you hear about Ticklish Tom?

He got tickled by his mom.

Wiggled and giggled and fell on the floor

Laughed and rolled right out the door

All the way to school then

He got tickled by his friends

Laughed till he fell off his stool

Laughed and rolled right out of school

Down the stairs and finally stopped

Till he got tickled by a cop

and all the more he kept giggling

all the more the folks kept tickling

He shreiked and screamed and rolled around

laughed his way right out of town

through the country down the road

he got tickled by a toad

passed the mountains across the plains

tickled by the falling rain

tickled by the soft brown grass

tickled by the clouds that pass

giggling rolling on his back

he rolled on the railroad track

rumble rumble whistle roar

tom aint ticklish any more
