Tongue Twisters

Swim Swan

Swan swam over the sea,

Swim, swan, swim.

Swan swam back again,

Well swam, swan.

The Tutor

A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to teach two young tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tutor,
“Is it harder to toot, or
To tutor two tooters to toot?”

The Butter Betty Bought

Betty Botta bought some butter;
“But,” said she, “this butter’s bitter!

If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter.

But a bit o’ better butter
Will but make my batter better.”

Then she bought a bit o’ butter
Better than the bitter butter,
Made her bitter batter better.

So ’twas better Betty Botta
Bought a bit o’ better butter.
