Tongue Twister

One slick snake slid up the stake
And the other slick snake slid down;
One slick snake slid up the stake
And the other slick snake slid down;
One slick snake slid up the stake
And the other slick snake slid down;
One slick snake slid up the stake
And the other slick snake slid down.

     Glory, glory how peculiar,
     Glory, glory how peculiar,
     Glory, glory how peculiar,
     When one slick snake slid up the stake
     And the other slick snake slid down.

One eager eagle eased into the eaves
And the other eager eagle eased East;
One eager eagle eased into the eaves
And the other eager eagle eased East;
One eager eagle eased into the eaves
And the other eager eagle eased East;
One eager eagle eased into the eaves
And the other eager eagle eased East.

     Glory, glory how peculiar,
     Glory, glory how peculiar,
     Glory, glory how peculiar,
     One eager eagle eased into the eaves
     And the other eager eagle eased East.

One lissome lass had a loathsome lisp
And the other lissome lass lisped less;
One lissome lass had a loathsome lisp
And the other lissome lass lisped less;
One lissome lass had a loathsome lisp
And the other lissome lass lisped less;
One lissome lass had a loathsome lisp
And the other lissome lass lisped less.

     Glory, glory how peculiar,
     Glory, glory how peculiar,
     Glory, glory how peculiar,
     When one lissome lass had a loathsome lisp
     And the other lissome lass lisped less.

One big black bug bled blue-black blood
And the other big bug bled blue;
One big black bug bled blue-black blood
And the other big bug bled blue;
One big black bug bled blue-black blood
And the other big bug bled blue;
One big black bug bled blue-black blood
And the other big bug bled blue.

     Glory, glory how peculiar,
     Glory, glory how peculiar,
     Glory, glory how peculiar,
     When one big black bug bled blue-black blood
     And the other big bug bled blue.
