1. Peter Piper picked a peck of
Prickly pickled peppers.
Betty Botter bought some better buns
And bitter butter.
Words that start the same are fun
To sing and say them quick,
So better get your tongue in shape
Or it will surely stick!
4. Suzy Smith was sitting still and
Suddenly saw a spider.
Fearless Freddy fanned the flames and
Found his foot on fire.
Words that start the same are fun
To sing and say them quick,
So better get your tongue in shape
Or it will surely stick!

2. Cathy Casey cracked a couple of
Cups of creamy coffee.
Terry Topper tipped a ton of
Tangled twisted toffee.
Words that start the same are fun
To sing and say them quick,
So better get your tongue in shape
Or it will surely stick!
5. Mandy Monk made many messy
Mounds of muddy marbles.
Greta Gobbler gabbed and gabbed
And gradually grew garbled.
Words that start the same are fun
To sing and say them quick,
So better get your tongue in shape
Or it will surely stick!

3. Danny Drake has dirty dogs
And doesn’t do the dishes.
Wendy Ward was washing wool
In wells that were for wishes.
Words that start the same are fun
To sing and say them quick,
So better get your tongue in shape
Or it will surely stick!
