-さ? ご prefix?

[mandolin]

OK, I'm sorry up front that my text here is a verse from a song.... *cough cough*

I actually have a couple of questions... (numbering the lines for reference)

1 大きなのっぽの古時計
2　　おじいさんの時計
3　　百年いつも動いてた
4 　ご自慢の時計さ
5 　おじいさんの生まれた朝に
6　　買ってきた時計さ
7　　いまはもう動かない　その時計

Line 1 - what is 「のっぽ」? I've tried my j-lookup and I can't figure it out. With most verbs/adjectives/whatever, I can manage to un-conjugate or at least search with half a word and a wildcard. But this one's eluding me.

line 4 - 「自慢」 is pride. What is the prefix 「ご」 for?
line 4 again - 「時計さ」　What's the purpose of さ tacked to the end of the noun? (Seen again in line 6)

Thanks!

のっぽ means very tall. Such as のっぽビル means a highrise.

ご is the honorific prefix (much like お). It is attached to certain words to make them more polite.

さ is a sentence ending that adds a softer, casual ending to the sentence.

Hope that helps.

Most definately! As always, thanks Harisenbon-san! Doumo!
