Donovan – Lost Time Lyrics

Rock

Timothy took his time to school
Plenty of time he took
But some he lost in the tadpole pool
And some in the stickler back brook
Ever so much in the linnets nest
And more on the five-barred 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
Though he might have been back by one
There's sums, and writings, and spelling, too
And an apple tree to climb
Timothy has a lot to do
How shall he find the time?
Timothy sought it 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 (ah me!)
The time that Timothy lost

Timothy sought it 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 (ah, me!)
The time that Timothy lost
The time that Timothy lost
The time that Timothy lost
The time that Timothy lost
The time that Timothy lost
The time that Timothy lost
The time that Timothy lost
The time that Timothy lost
The time that Timothy lost
