Daniel Wawersig - Knots and Knowledge Lyrics

At the break of dawn when the world's still asleep
Little Timmy wakes up it's time for him to leap
Mama hands him a manual says "It's time to learn today
All the important skills in the childhood way"

Tying shoes and riding bikes oh what a joy
Learning the alphabet oh boy oh boy!
How to count to ten and tie a knot
These are the things that Timmy's got

He's got his helmet on ready for the show
Time to learn to juggle with oranges in a row
Next up is skydiving from the old oak tree
Says mama "It's essential for his CV!"

Tying shoes and riding bikes oh what a joy
Learning the alphabet oh boy oh boy!
How to count to ten and tie a knot
These are the things that Timmy's got

Now he's on a unicycle juggling pies in the air
With a monocle on his eye and a sense of flair
Oh the things he's learned you won't believe
From flamenco dancing to how to achieve world peace

Tying shoes and riding bikes oh what a joy
Learning the alphabet oh boy oh boy!
How to count to ten and tie a knot
These are the things that Timmy's got

But remember dear children as you go through life's plot
Not everything you learn is tied in a knot!
