「Grandfather's clock」（大きな古時計）の発表から２年後、「Sequel to "Grandfather's clock"」（大きな古時計　続編）として発表された。
壁には新しい時計が掛けられ、おじいさんが生前、大事にしていた古時計は、がらくた屋に売られ、解体されてしまう。

　1.
　　Once again have I roamed
　　thro' the old-fashioned house,
　　Where my grandfather spent his
　　ninety years...
　　There are strangers in charge,
　　and the change they have wrought--
　　Oh! it saddens me, even to tears.
　　Dear old clock! when they found
　　you were speechless from grief,
　　Then they went and swapped you off,
　　case and all.
　　For that vain, stuck-up thing
　　(tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,
　　tick, tick, tick),
　　For that vain, stuck-up thing
　　on the wall.

　CHORUS:
　　Grandfather sleeps in his grave;
　　Strange steps resound in the hall!...
　　And there's that vain, stuck-up thing
　　(tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,
　　tick, tick, tick),
　　There's that vain, stuck-up thing
　　on the wall.

　2.
　　While we talked of the old clock they
　　all ran it down.
　　Tho' they claimed that it couldn't be
　　made to run...
　　It was useless, they said-- it was
　　quite out of style;
　　Built, no doubt, just about the year One.
　　And the words echoed round, with a faint,
　　mocking sound,
　　As if some one gave assent to it all;
　　'Twas that vain, stuck-up thing
　　(tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,
　　tick, tick, tick),
　　'Twas that vain, stuck-up thing on the wall.
　　CHORUS

　3.
　　From the clock-peddler's cart in the
　　junk-shop it went,
　　Where its cog-wheels were sundered
　　one be one;...
　　And the brass-founder joked as they
　　writhed in the flames--
　　"Melt'em up," says he; "then they will run."
　　There is grief in my heart, there are tears
　　in my eyes,
　　Yet indignantly the sight I recall
　　Of that vain, stuck-up thing
　　(tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,
　　tick, tick, tick),
　　Of that vain, stuck-up thing on the wall.
　　CHORUS

　4.
　　"An extremely hard case!" said
　　the junk-dealer's wife,
　　As she carved it for kindling wood
　　and sighed--
　　That mahogany case, with its quaint,
　　figured face,
　　Which so long was my grandfather's pride.
　　"There is hope for the small;
　　there's a change for us all;
　　For the mighty ones of Time,
　　they must fall!"
　　Says that vain, stuck-up thing
　　(tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,
　　tick, tick, tick),
　　Says that vain, stuck-up thing on the wall.
　　CHORUS
