This song, along with an open version, is available on Intelli-Tunes' Word Mechanics.

When a word, when a word,
Ends with e.
Before you can add an ing
Before you can add an ed
All you have to do is drop that e.
Drop that e!

Oh, drop that e!
Drop that e!
Just lose, remove, don’t use that e.
Before you add an ing
Before you add an ed
All you have to do is drop that e.
Drop that e!

drive to driving Drop that e!
move to moving Drop that e!
have to having Drop that e!
smile to smiling Drop that e!

close to closed Drop that e!
pile to piled Drop that e!
save to saved Drop that e!
bake to baked Drop that e!

Drop that e!

When a word, when a word,
Ends with e.
Before you can add an ing
Before you can add an ed
All you have to do is drop that e.
Drop that e!

Good-bye!
