It's "one, two, three" in some pre-Goidelic language. INDEED it is NOT!

Hickory Dickory Dock doesn't mean anything cheerful and happy, it means something miserable I think, but I'm not sure what it is. It has a meaning in the same sense as Ring Around the Rosy -- "Ring around the rosy," at the time the song was made, people had a plague where they developed rosy rings. "Pocket full of posies," they kept flowers in their pockets to keep away the stench of death. "Ashes, ashes, we all fall down." They're burned to ashes when they die, and falling down is saying that they 'fall' into ashes. Anyway, Hickory Dickory Dock has the same brutal meaning, but im not sure what it is.
