Refrain:
Do you have extension tension,
When you try to spell /shun/?
Do you spell it like invention,
Or like another one?
Do you spell it like magician?
Is that the way to go?
Do you have extension tension?
I just want to know.
Do you have extension tension,
When you try to spell /shun/?
Do you spell it like invention,
Or like another one?
Do you spell it like magician?
Is that the way to go?
Do you have extension tension?
I just want to know.

Some word families are spelled that way.

I'll keep those patterns in store.
