Tongue twister
Burl Ives · Big Rock Candy Mountain [2000]
Tongue twister, tongue twister, so hard to say
Seems that your mouth always gets in the way
Tongue twister, tongue twister, try it and then
Go faster and over and over and over again
Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers
That isn't so hardd to say
But try it five times just as fast as you can
It's a little bit harder that way
Oh, tongue twiser, tongue twister
So hard to say
Seems that your mouth always gets in the way
Tongue twister, tongue twister
Try it and then
Go faster and over and over and over again
One slick snake slid down the slippery slue
That isn't so hard to say
But try it five times just as fast as you can
It's a little bit harder that way
Oh, tongue twister, tongue twister
So hard to say
Seems that your mouth always gets in the way
Tongue twister, tongue twister
Try it and then
Go faster and over and over and over again
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked
That isnt so hard to say
But try it five times just as fast as you can
It's a little bit harder that way
Oh, tongue twister, tongue twister
So hard to say
Seems that your mouth always gets in the way
Tongue twister, tongue twister
Try it and then
Go faster and over and over and over again
Seems that your mouth always gets in the way
Tongue twister, tongue twister, try it and then
Go faster and over and over and over again

That isn't so hardd to say

It's a little bit harder that way
Oh, tongue twiser, tongue twister
