I took a friend out to dinner
We took a look at the menu
I said I'll have the entry
She said "Before you continue"
I think it's pronounced entree"
And I said "Oh, on the contrary
We speak English in this country
Where E's pronounced /e/-/e/-/e/-/e/!
She said "Wait just a minute
Why don't you see
You use the word "English"
(?) "e"
I don't want to criticise you
It seems your vowels and your language belies you
But E in English sounds like I
That E's pronounced /i/-/i/-/i/-/i/!
Hah!
Oh wait just a second
?
That thing that you reckon
I think you could be correct
But what about "the"? There's a f**ing E in "the"!
But the E in "the", it sounds like "uh"!
That E's pronounced /ə/-/ə/-/ə/-/ə/!
It's all your fault you wanted more
It's all your fault you wanted more
It's all your fault you wanted more
It's all your fault you wanted more
Now I'm not sure if we're playing you
An /i/ncore, /e/ncore, /o/ncore
Or an /ə/ncore anymore
It's all your fault you wanted more
Now I'm not sure if we're playing you
An /i/ncore, /e/ncore, /o/ncore
Or an /ə/ncore anymore
It's all your fault you wanted more
Now I'm not sure if we're playing you
An /i/ncore, /e/ncore, /o/ncore
Or an /ə/ncore anymore
It's all your fault you wanted more
Now I'm not sure if we're playing you
An /i/ncore, /e/ncore, /o/ncore
Or an /ə/ncore!
Thank you!
