THE PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY SONG


I hope that I – maybe one day

Will learn to speak – in a proper way

Will master stress – and good pronunci – ation

The future though – still seemed so far

While there was no - such seminar

I wished  there were – a syllabus  to guide me


(silent voices, everybody) It’s Phonetics and Phonology course,

                                                                                     of course



And now we can – every single week

Get lectured ‘bout – how wrong we speak

To hell with it – we embrace – criticism

Chomsky would  -  be proud of us

And Jakobson – would join the class

If he heard the im - proving stress and rhythm


It’s Phonetics and Phonology course,

                                              of course
