Lyrics for Song: Tongue Twisters
Lyrics for Album: Selections From Hans Christian Andersen & Other Fa [2006]



Everybody's heard of Peter Piper


And the peck of pickled peppers that he picked


That's such a silly simple children's game


It hasn't even got a name





But I'd like to bet that it'll trip you


And I bet you're gonna have to say you're licked


If Peter Piper you pronounce with ease


Then twist your tongue around these


Moses supposes his toeses are roses


But Moses supposes erroneously


For Moses he knowses his toeses aren't roses


As Moses supposes his toeses to be


That's tongue twisters





And it seems so easy till the word gets sprung


If you insist you want to try a lisp


Then step up mister and twist your tongue


Now Kissle will whistle at busty Miss. Russell


Who'll rustle and bustle till Kissle will roar


So Russell asked Axle for Kissle's dismissal


And this'll teach Kissle to whistle no more


That's tongue twisters





And it seems so easy till you twist your tongue


Tito and Tato were tattooed in total


But Toto was only tattooed on his toe


So Tato told Tito where Toto was tattooed





But Tito said Toto's tattoo wouldn't show


Theda thought Thora was thumping her thimble


But Thomas thought Thora was thumping her drum


Said Theda if Thora's not thumping her thimble


I think that she surely is thumping her thumb


That's tongue twisters





And it seems so easy till the word gets sprung


If you insist you want to try a lisp


Then step up mister and twist your tongue


Now Charley is chary when choosing his cheeses


And cheese is a challenge when Charley arrives


When Charley is charming and chooses a cheddar


Then chews it and chips it and chops in some chives





Heda is hoping to hop to Tahiti


To hack a hibiscus to hang on her hat


Now Heda has hundreds of hats on her hatrack


So how can a hop to Tahiti help that


Snobby Miss. Nora is sniffing her snuffer


The snuffer's no sniffing it makes Nora sneeze


When Snyda lets Nort know his Nora is sneezing


She snappily snorts Nora's sneezing a breeze


Sheila is selling her shop at the seashore


For shops at the seashore are so sure to lose


And she's not so sure of what she should be selling


Should Sheila sell seashells or should she sell shoes


That's tongue twisters





And it seems so easy till the word gets sprung


If you insist you want to try a lisp


Then step up mister and twist your tongue


Twista felt Twister was trying to whistle


But Twister had twisted his tongue
