Lyrics
Timmy put his shoes on by himself
Ever since they showed him how
He can tie a lace
He can wash his face
Timmy is a big boy now
He can eat the supper by himself
And he never makes a raw
He can climb the stairs
He can comb his hair
Timmy is a big boy now
He grows so fast
As days goes past
He never looks the same
He’ll soon be bright enoght to
Write his name
He can do so many big boy things
He deserves to take a bow
He can tire his lace
He can climb the stairs
He can count his toes
He can blow his nose
He can snap the light
And say “Good night”
For Timmy is a big boy now

I actually had this record as a kid, and the lyrics just came back to me! I am going to play it for my own Timmy – age 22!!
