Syllables


If - you
Have a long word
I - know
It may sound absurd
You can break it down into syllables.

When - you
Break it in bits
You’ll - find that
All the bits fit
You can break it down into syllables.

Like this...
Su-dden-ly
Let me hear you say
Su-dden-ly
Don’t you know that
You can break up su-dden-ly like this.

If your
Birthday’s in November
And it’s
Hard to remember
You can break it down into syllables.

Like this...
No-vem-ber
Let me hear you say
No-vem-ber
Don’t you know that
You can break up No-vem-ber like this.

If a
Dinosaur appears and
Wants to bite off your ears
You can break him down into his syllables.

Like this...
Di-no-saur
Let me hear you say
Di-no-saur
Don’t you know that
You can break up di-no-saur like this.

Syll-a-bles
Let me hear you say.
Syll-a-bles
Don’t you know that
You can break up syll-a-bles like this.
