Dreamy Vowel E
When you see an E

Dreamy vowel E

And it's standin' by chance

Between two consonants

Then you say that E, eh, eh, eh

You say that E, eh, eh, eh (x3)

Yes, E, in between B and D, is always in bed, bed, bed

And E, in between F and D, just has to be fed, fed, fed

So, when you see an E

Dreamy vowel E

And it's standin' by chance

Between two consonants

Then you say that E, eh, eh, eh

You say that E, eh, eh, eh (x3)

When you see an A

And it's standin' by chance

Between two consonants

Then you say that A, aah, aah, aah

You say that A, aah, aah, aah (x3)
