Spoken:
Tina:
Hey Danny
Danny:
Hey T!
Tina:
Wanna try some tongue twisters?
Danny:
What are those?
Tina:
What are Tongue Twisters? You really don't know?
Oh- let me tell you!
One- two- one two three...
Sing: Chorus
Tongue Twisters
They're a sequence of words or sounds, we try to say them really fast.
Tongue Twisters
But they're challenging to pronounce.
Tongue Twisters, yeah!
Spoken:
Tina:
Check it out:
Candy Cotton Counts Containers, try it.
Danny:
Candy Cotton Counts Containers?
Tina:
Great, do it again.
Candy Cotton Counts Containers
Danny:
Candy Cotton Counts Containers!
Tina:
Great! Now that you have it, say it 5 times fast, like this:
Candy Cotton Counts Containers! Candy Cotton Counts Containers! Candy Cotton Counts Containers! Candy Cotton Counts Containers! Candy Cotton Counts Containers!
Danny:
Woah, are you ok?
Tina:
(Phew)
(Chorus)
Spoken:
Tina:
A little harder:
Candy Cotton counts containers of colorful cotton candy.
Danny:
Candy Cotton counts containers of colorful cotton candy.
Tina:
Singers!
Sing:
Candy Cotton counts containers of colorful cotton candy.
Spoken:
Danny:
Wait- where did they come from?
Tina:
I dunno, they follow me around everywhere- never mind.
Now say it again as fast as you can.
Danny:
Candy Cotton counts containers of colorful cotton candy.
Tina:
Aww, you can do better than that!
Danny:
Candy Cotton counts containers of colorful cotton candy.
Tina:
Even faster!
Danny:
Candy Cotton counts containers of colorful cotton candy.
Tina:
Now you have it!
(Chorus)
Some tongue twisters are really short, you say them 5 times fast.
Some tongue twisters are really long, say it once as fast as you can!
Candy cotton counts containers of colorful cotton candy.
Can she keep count of colorful candy containers or can't she?
Counting containers of colorful cotton candy is Candy Cotton's calling.
Spoken:
BUT- Counting containers of colorful cotton candy incorrectly could cause a cranky Candy Cotton.
Danny: Now you're just showing off.
(Chorus x2)
