The song "Honk Around A Clock" by Sesame Street is a fun and lively tune that encourages everyone to honk their horns and make some noise. The lyrics are repetitive and easy to remember, making it a great song for young children to sing along to. The song begins with a count up to 12, with each number followed by a "honk" sound. The chorus repeats the phrase "we're gonna honk around the clock" several times, followed by more honking sounds. The second verse counts down from 12 to 1, with the same honking sounds.
Beyond the fun and playful nature of the lyrics, there is not much deeper meaning to be found in "Honk Around A Clock." The intent of the song is to get children to participate in making noise and having fun, and to encourage them to let loose and be loud. The song is upbeat and energetic, and can be used as a great tool for getting kids excited and engaged.
