The English Language Gets a Little Kooky - Vowels
'A' makes the /ay/ sound in baby and lady
But 'A' with a silent 'E' says the /ay/ in snake and cake
'A-I' says /ay/ in rain, 'E-I' says /ay/ in number eight
'A' and 'Y' together say /ay/ in clay, and play, Say,
Why this crazy chain of ways to make the sound of /ay/ ?
Chorus:
Oh, 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.
Two 'E's' say /ee/ in knee and tree
But E-A' says /ee/ in peach and teach
'I-E' says /ee/ in chief, one 'E' says /ee/ in she and he
And if that's not enough, here's another way
'Y' makes the /ee/ sound in silly, goofy, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee!
Repeat Chorus
'I' makes the /igh/ sound in ivy and China
But 'I' with a silent 'E' says /igh/ in rice and mice
'I-E' says /igh/ in pie 'Y-E 'says /igh/ in good-bye
'I-G-H' says /igh/ in sigh, and 'Y' says /igh/ in cry

Repeat Chorus
Two 'O's make the /oo/ sound in spoon and moon
But 'U-E' says /oo/ in blue and glue
'E-W' says /oo/ in chew; one 'O' says /oo/ in who
And 'U' with a silent 'E' says /oo/ in June and tune
And 'O-U-G H' says /oo/ in through, What??
'O-U-G H' says /oo/ in through . . .
I hope we're through with /oo/!
Repeat Chorus
'O-A' says /o/ in boat and float
But 'O' with a silent 'E' says /o/ in rose and nose
'O-E' says /o/ in toes, one /o/ says /o/ in go
'O-W' says /o/ in grow
This only goes to show
What now I know you know
Repeat Chorus
Ho, ho, ho, ha, ha, ha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
