Together again, together again,
We’re back! Together again.

Lesson 3- Track 5
My Body Clock
My body has a timer though it isn’t like a clock
It doesn’t show the hour and it doesn’t say tick-tock
It doesn’t hang the wall or sit upon a shelf
But my body has a timer way down deep inside myself.
I’ve got a body clock, listen to my body clock
I’ve got a body clock, listen, listen.
Lesson 3- Track 5
My Body Clock
It tells me when I’m hungry, that it’s time for me to eat.
It keeps time to the music and it makes me tap my feet.
It tells me when I’m feeling sad, it’s time to have a cry.
It makes my chin start quivering and tears come to my eye.
I’ve got a body clock, listen to my body clock
I’ve got a body clock, listen, listen.
Lesson 3- Track 5
My Body Clock
And when I’m feeling tired but I don’t want it to show
My body starts to yawn and yawn so Mum is sure to know.
“It’s time for you to go to bed” says Mum but I say “No!”
Then my body gives another yawn and off to bed I go.
I’ve got a body clock, listen to my body clock
I’ve got a body clock, listen, listen.

Lay down his sweet head.

Looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.

And stay by my bedside
‘Til morning is night.

To live with you there.
