The English Language Gets a Little Kooky - Consonants
'J' makes the /j/ sound in jelly and jam
But 'G' says /j/ in ginger and giraffe
'G-E' says /j/ in page, and cage
And 'D-G-E' says /j/ in fudge
Gee, what jolly genius judged the logic of this?? Oh,
Chorus: The English language gets a little kooky
Gets a little kooky now and then
The English language gets a little kooky
Now and then, my friend.
'S' makes the /s/ sound in singer and song
But 'C' says /s/ in cereal and city
'S-S says /s/ at the end of glass and kiss
And 'SC' says /s/ at the start of scissors
It's senseless, yes, but just accept this silly song and sing...Oh,
Repeat Chorus
'C' makes a /k/ sound in cat and cow
But 'K' says /k/ in kitten and kazoo
'C' and 'K' together say /k/ in sack and wacky

And 'C-H' says /k/ in chorus and choir. Ah...Oh,
Repeat Chorus
'S-H' says /sh/ in ship and shark
But 'T-I' says /sh/ in motion and potion
'C-E' says /sh/ in ocean, 'C-H' says /sh/ in chef
'C-I' says /sh/ in special, and 'S' says /sh/ in sure
There surely should be fewer ways to show the sound of 'shhh'...Oh,
Repeat Chorus softly
There are many more examples we can't fit them in this song
The rules are sometimes right, and sometimes they are wrong
When spelling makes no sense and you're frustrated and incensed
Take a breath, count to three, 1, 2, 3, and sing this little song...Oh,
Repeat Chorus
Ho, ho, ho, ha, ha, ha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
