Lyrics:

Timothy took his time to school
Plenty of time he took
But some he lost in the tadpole pool
And some in the stickle-back brook
Ever so much on the linnets nest
And more on the five bar gate
timothy took his time to school
But he lost it all and was late

Timothy has a lot to do
How shall it all be done?
Why, he never got home till close on two
When he might have been back by one
The sums and writing and the spelling too
And an apple tree to climb
Timothy has a lot to do
How shall he find the time.

Timothy soughted high and low
He looked in the tadpole pool
To see if they'd taken the time to grow
That he lost on the way to school
He found the nest, and he found the tree
And he found the gate he'd crossed
But Timothy never shall find Oh nay
The time that timothy lost

Timothy soughted high and low
He looked in the tadpole pool
To see if they'd taken the time to grow
That he lost on the way to school
He found the nest, and he found the tree
And he found the gate he'd crossed
But Timothy never shall find Oh nay
The time that Timothy lost
The time that Timothy lost
The time that Timothy lost
