Opening Theme Song Lyrics
- Sit back, don't touch that radio dial
- Bags packed, and take along a big smile
- Bring snacks, we may be gone for a while
- It's Colonel Tick-Tock time
- Get set, to travel through yesterday
- You bet, adventure's right round the way
- Forget, your cares 'cause fun's here to stay
- It's Colonel TickTock time
- Take a mind-bending trip to anywhen
- With the royal chrono-patrol
- Up is down, squares are round, and now is then
- When you travel via time hole
- Marco Polo’s on a cell phone
- Tutankahmun rides the Cyclone
- And Al Capone guns down his clone for copping his calzone!
- You'll see, that you can meet anyone
- Take tea, with Atilla the Hun
- Feel free, to set your watches for fun!
- It's Colonel TickTock time.
Closing Theme Song Lyrics
- So cheers, it’s been a marvelous trip
- Seems years since I’ve had such a pip
- My dears, I trust your lids did a flip
- It’s Colonel TickTock time.
- A decade, a year might well disappear
- A fantastical magical trick
- What’s a month here or there, I’ve got oodles to spare!
- That’s what make Colonel TickTock tick
- Tock
- Tick
- Tock
- Hooray! For the Man of the Hour
- Parades, and garlands of flowers
- Make way, for chronological power!
- It’s Colonel TickTock
- With my trick clock!
- Colonel TickTock time!
- It's Colonel TickTock time!
Behind the Scenes
In the M Bar days of the Thrilling Adventure Hour, long before it was podcast, The Cross-Time Adventure of Colonel Tick-Tock was more theme song than segment. It would feature a long opening, then Colonel Tick-Tock would very quickly solve a problem with time travel, then go into the closing theme, which had several false stops that would only cut into even more closing theme. This bit can be heard in the crossover segment in which the Colonel appears on Comedy Bang Bang.
