And you mix them all about.
You do the Shake-Up Pokey
And you mix them all around.
And /ch/ is what comes out!


You put a "s" in.

You do the Shake-Up Pokey
And you mix them all around.
And /sh/ is what comes out!


You put a "t" in.
You put an "h" in.
You put them both in
And you mix them all about.
