O Timothy Tim Has ten pink toes, And ten pink toes Has Timothy Tim. They go with him Wherever he goes, And wherever he goes They go with him. O Timothy Tim Has two blue eyes, And two blue eyes Has Timothy Tim. They cry with him Whenever he cries, And whenever he cries, They cry with him. O Timothy Tim Has one red head, And one red head Has Timothy Tim. It sleeps with him In Timothy's bed. Sleep well, red head Of Timothy Tim.

Тимоти Тим имел десять пальчиков, имел десять пальчиков Тимоти Тим. Шли они с ним, как послушные мальчики. как послушные мальчики, шли они с ним. У Тимоти Тима было два глаза, обоими сразу поглядывал Тим, когда он смеялся, смеялись два глаза, когда он плакал, то плакали с ним. Одна голова у Тимоти Тима, она и мечтала, и думала с ним. Когда он ложился, она засыпала. Спи сладко, головка, спи, Тимоти Тим.
