[Intro – Spoken, with rhythm] "Warm up your words and loosen your lips! Let’s twist some tongues — no slips, no trips!" *(Quick clap beat begins)* [Verse 1 – Classic Twisters] Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Sally sells seashells by the seashore! How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood — and more! *(beat or clap)* Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said, “This butter’s bitter — better butter I’ll buy instead!” Unique New York, you know you need it, And red leather, yellow leather, can you repeat it? [Chorus – Standard Version] To sing the tongue twister medley, You must have diction without friction! Pronunciation with no hesitation, Every syllable slick with precision! [Verse 2 – Faster Twisters] Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair, Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he? (ha-ha!) Irish wristwatch, Swiss wristwatch — Try saying that three times, easy! *(beat)* Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat (trip!) Lesser leather never weathered wetter weather better! If two witches watch two watches, Which witch watches which watch better? [Chorus – Repeat, Slightly Faster] To sing the tongue twister medley, You must have diction without friction! Pronunciation with no hesitation, Every syllable slick with precision! [Bridge – Breakneck Tempo] Pick a peck! Chuck that wood! Sell those shells like Sally should! Better butter, bitter batter, Twist those tongues, make chatter matter! [Final Chorus – Extended, Full-Speed] To sing the tongue twister medley, You must have diction without friction! Pronunciation with no hesitation, Every syllable slick with precision! To sing the tongue twister medley, You must have diction without friction! Keep your tempo tight, your vowels bright, And twist your tongue with pure delight! Now sing it quicker, double time, go on — Till your tongue’s all tied and your breath is gone! [Outro – Spoken, playful fade-out] “Whew! Tongue untwisted… I think…” *(final snap and cymbal flourish)*
