Tongue Twisters by Danny Kaye – and more

Tongue twisters galore
more languages!
Everybody's heard of Peter Piper 
And the peck of pickled peppers that he picked 
That's such a silly simple children's game 
It hasn't even got a name 
But I'd like to bet that it'll trip you 
And I bet you're gonna have to say you're licked 
If Peter Piper you pronounce with ease 
Then twist your tongue around these 
 
Moses supposes his toeses are roses 
But Moses supposes erroneously 
For Moses he knowses his toeses aren't roses 
As Moses supposes his toeses to be 
 
That's tongue twisters 
And it seems so easy till the word gets sprung 
If you insist you want to try a lisp 
Then step up mister and twist your tongue 
 
Now Kissle will whistle at busty Miss. Russell 
Who'll rustle and bustle till Kissle will roar 
So Russell asked Axle for Kissle's dismissal 
And this'll teach Kissle to whistle no more 
 
That's tongue twisters 
And it seems so easy till you twist your tongue 
 
Tito and Tato were tattooed in total 
But Toto was only tattooed on his toe 
So Tato told Tito where Toto was tattooed 
But Tito said Toto's tattoo wouldn't show 
 
Theda thought Thora was thumping her thimble 
But Thomas thought Thora was thumping her drum 
Said Theda if Thora's not thumping her thimble 
I think that she surely is thumping her thumb 
 
That's tongue twisters 
And it seems so easy till the word gets sprung 
If you insist you want to try a lisp 
Then step up mister and twist your tongue 
 
Now Charley is chary when choosing his cheeses 
And cheese is a challenge when Charley arrives 
When Charley is charming and chooses a cheddar 
Then chews it and chips it and chops in some chives 
 
Heda is hoping to hop to Tahiti 
To hack a hibiscus to hang on her hat 
Now Heda has hundreds of hats on her hatrack 
So how can a hop to Tahiti help that 
 
Snobby Miss. Nora is sniffing her snuffer 
The snuffer's no sniffing it makes Nora sneeze 
When Snyda lets Nort know his Nora is sneezing 
She snappily snorts Nora's sneezing a breeze 
 
Sheila is selling her shop at the seashore 
For shops at the seashore are so sure to lose 
And she's not so sure of what she should be selling 
Should Sheila sell seashells or should she sell shoes 
 
That's tongue twisters 
And it seems so easy till the word gets sprung 
If you insist you want to try a lisp 
Then step up mister and twist your tongue 
Twista felt Twister was trying to whistle 
But Twister had twisted his tongue
