Only Known by Tim
by Forrest Stone

(sung to the tune of "Blowin' in the Wind")


How many times does that number go in
To the three-digit number I see?
I'm counting the questions and counting the kids
So I know which one she will ask me.
Why didn't I practice up on my math
And pass on that video spree?


The answer, my friend, is only known by Tim,
The answer is only known by Tim.


How many times must the history quiz
Confuse me until my head aches?
(Oh yes and) how many times must I re-do my math
Before I learn from my mistakes?
And how many times must I calculate pi
And never get one piece of cake?


The answer, my friend, is only known by Tim,
The answer is only known by Tim.


Oh when was the Ice Age and where is Japan,
Which answer is best of these three?
And what is the name for the bones in your hand,
And who is this Robert E. Lee?
My question is of a much simpler kind,
Which is, why are you asking me??


The answer, my friend, is only known by Tim,
The answer is only known by Tim.
