Tim the Tinker Boy

[Verse 1] Tim’s got ears as long as the day Brown Leather vest, brass chains that sway At his work bench, he goes over plans Writes them out quickly like hourglass sands Copper bolts in his paws Steel wrench, steady lines he draws He smiles when the cogs line up Like the whole world’s built from luck [Pre-Chorus] Click-clack, keep it turning Little sparks keep burning He says, "One more try" Then he grins at the sky [Chorus] Tim, Tim, The Tinker Boy Tinkers day and night With a goal in his sight Tim, Tim, Sweet Bunny Boy Make the machines come to life Bring us joy to fight back our strife [Verse 2] In the back of the shop He’s got valves stacked up to the top A tea tin full of springs And a birdcage made of brass rings He hums while he bends Broken parts, making new friends If it rattles, he won’t quit He’ll coax a song right out of it [Pre-Chorus] Click-clack, keep it turning Little sparks keep burning He says, "One more try" Then he grins at the sky [Chorus] Tim, Tim, The Tinker Boy Tinkers day and night With a goal in his sight Tim, Tim, Sweet Bunny Boy Make the machines come to life Bring us joy to fight back our strife [Bridge] When the boiler groans low He stays calm, stays close One soft twist, one bright start And the whole town wakes at heart [Final Chorus] Tim, Tim, The Tinker Boy Tinkers with toys To bring us joy Tim, Tim, Sweet Bunny Boy Has many goals in his sight He'll push on with all his might
