If you
want to sing these are the lyrics!
When
two vowels go walking,
the
first one does the talking.
In
"boat" you hear the "o" and not the "a".
In
"meat" you hear the "e", the
"a" sits quietly.
The
second vowel you see but you don't say.
But... Shh!
Just the
two of us together
In
"train" and "pail" and "rain". The
"a" speaks up; the "i" does not.
But... Shh!
Let me explain.
When
two vowels go walking, the
first one does the talking.
In
"brain" you hear the "a" but not the "i".
In
"soap" the "o" is clear. The
"a" you never hear.
In
"say" you say the "a" and not the "y".
But... Shh!
Isn't it neat?
But... Shh! It
can't be beat!
But... Shh!
It's such a dream!
Don't
mean to boast, but
here's a toast.
We're
quite a team!
When
two vowels go walking, the
first one does the talking.
I'm
sorry, number two, it's such a shame.
Although
it gives you pain, the
rule is very plain.
When
two vowels walk,
The
first one says its name!
But... Shh!
Yes,
when two vowels walk,
The
first one says its name!
