This is a tune that one can use for vowel games.
It's the same tune, the same words, but in each verse
the major vowel sound changes. Gets to be nonsense,
but it does illustrate the inportance of good diction.
8 8 -8 7 7 7
I like to eat, eat, eat,
8 -8 8 -9 8 -8
Apples and bananas.
-8 -8 7 -7 -7 -7
I like to eat, eat, eat,
-8 7 -8 8 -8 7
Apples and bananas.
