The Atomic Clock

Just a wonderful helical trick,
That was discovered by Watson & Crick...
Did first come de tock or first come de tick?...
Den de chimes go ring, ring, ring,
On dat magical atomic clock thing...

Don't ask me a riddle, I don't know nothin',
My head long ago was filled with stuffin'...
Speak to me, Lord, with lips that never lie, &
I'll follow your trails into the stars in the sky...
Open my mental wings and I'll begin to fly...

pitchmen in search of a double helix".)
