IN A FAR OFF LAND tHERE ONCE LIVED A MAN
WITH FORTY TWO CHILDREN OF HIS OWN
HE GAVE EACH ONE A VERY LONG NAME
HE’D FORGET WHEN HE WENT TO CALL THEM HOME
HE’D START WITH A NAME, AN ORDINARY NAME
CHANGE THE A – E – I – O – U
YOU PICK THE NAME AND WE CAN PLAY A GAME
JUST LISTEN AND I’LL TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.
MORGAN…
SAY MORGAN WITH AN A – MAGAN
MORGAN WITH AN E – MEGAN
MORGAN WITH AN I – MIGAN
O – MOGAN, U- MUGAN
MAGAN, MEGAN MIGAN MOGAN MUGAN WAS HER NAME
SO WHAT’S A POOR DADDY TO DO
MAGAN, MEGAN MIGAN MOGAN MUGAN WAS HER NAME
SO HE JUST CALLED HER NUMBER 22.
BEN…
SAY BEN WITH AN A – BANE
BEN WITH AN E – BEAN
BEN WITH AN I – BINE
O – BONE U – BOON
BANE BEAN BINE BONE BOON WAS HIS NAME
IT’S HIS NAME AND IT ALWAYS WILL BE
BANE BEAN BINE BONE BOON WAS HIS NAME
SO HIS DAD CALLED HIM NUMBER 33.
THEIR DADDY COULD’VE CALLED ‘EM BY A NAME NOT A NUMBER
IF HE’D JUST REMEMBERED WHAT TO DO
TAKE THE VERY FIRST VOWEL AND SUBSTITUTE FOR IT
A LONG A-E-I-O AND U!
LAURA…
SAY LAURA WITH AN A – LAYRA
LAURA WITH AN E – LEERA
LAURA WITH AN I – LYRA
O – LOHRA, U – LOORA
LAYRA LEERA LYRA LOHRA LOORA WAS HER NAME
IT’S HER NAME AND IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN
LAYRA LEERA LYRA LOHRA LOORA WAS HER NAME
SO HER DAD CALLED HER LITTLE NUMBER 10.
NOW USE YOUR NAME…
SAY IT WITH AN A
SAY IT WITH AN E
SAY IT WITH AN I – O – U
DID YOU DO IT? WELL, I HOPE THAT YOU DID
AND IF YOUR FOLKS CAN’T REMEMBER IT THEY’RE THE ONES TO BLAME
THEY SHOULD’VE JUST NUMBERED THEIR KIDS!
