This song is available on Mar. Harman's
"Singing in a Different Key"

A speech therapist requested a song that uses the six basic mouth sounds – Ah, Sh, MM, EE, OO and SS.  I thought, “When would I use all those sounds and make it interesting to children?”  I came up with while eating cookies.  Children repeat second half.  For the “I love to eat something sweet” part, pat thighs to feel steady beat.  (This leads to reading proficiency.)  Song works even better with visuals.  Before starting, ask them to tell you their favorite cookies and pretend to eat them.  After song, they can really eat cookies while you read a book about cookies to them.

Ah! Look at the cookie in my sight.
Ah! I wanna take a bite.
Ah! I wanna take a bite.

Sh. I'll be quiet as I chew.
Sh. That's kind of hard to do.
Sh. That's kind of hard to do.

MMMM. That tastes so good.
MMMM. I knew it would.
MMMM I knew it would.

I love to EEEEEE
At something swEEEEEEt.
I love to EEEEEE
At something swEEEEEEt.

OO. I need something to wash it down.
OO. Liquid to swish it around.
OO Liquid to swish it around.

SSSSSS sip some milk from a cup.
SSSSSS sip it all up.
SSSSSS sip it all up.

Ah! No more cookie in sight.
Ah! 'Cause I took a bite!
A big bite.
