I've English friends from the Carribean
On Zoom Central America, too
Our Nigerian friends have lost their g
Are they thinkin' talkin' like you?
Some lose keys and some lose a letter
The lost letter is h, we teachers aren't cranks
With our help armies do better
Please send thanks, but not tanks
The Chinese lose h ut keep the tea
One mum told me her children were tree
I thought they must liked climbing trees
But they were bookish, yes, all three
There's a silent b, e, h, and g
Pronunce most letters in every word
Th in thee, th in three
Remember to say third and not turd
Tongue under teeth when saying third
I hope dear friends you won't forget
To say exactly the word you heard
A turd is something you see in the toilet.
Do you think we're born perfect, the Engllish Nation?
No, my Mum paid a teacher of elocution
Some adults still have good pronunciation
Listen to me, that's a cheap solution.
