Silent E — текст песни (Tom Lehrer)

Who can turn a can into a cane?

Who can turn a pan into a pane?

Its not too hard to see

Its silent e



Who can turn a cub into a cube?

Who can turn a tub into a tube?

Its elementary

For silent e



He took a pin and turned it into pine

He took a twin and turned him into twine



Who can turn a cap into a cape?

Who can turn a tap into a tape?

A little glob becomes a globe instantly

If you just add silent e



He turned a dam - alikazam! - into a dame

But my friend sam stayed just the same



Who can turn a man into a mane?

Who can turn a van into a vane?

A little hug becomes huge instantly

Dont add w, dont add x, and dont add y or z,

Just add silent e
