TIMOTHY 
(Rupert Holmes)
The Buoys - 1971


Trapped in a mine when a hatch caved in
And everyone knows the only one left was Joe
And me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale were Joe 
And me

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, god why don't I know?

Hungry as hell, no food to eat
Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
Joe said to me, I'll take a swig
And then there's some
For you

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, god what did we do?

I must've blacked out just about then,
'cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around to finding
Timothy

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, god, why don't I know?
