The Sound Shake-Up Song
Tune: Hokey Pokey
A song about consonant digraphs adapted by Mrs. Jones
from an idea in The Mailbox Magazine
You put a "c" in.
You put an "h" in.
You put them both in
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 put an "h" in.
You put them both in
And you mix them all about.
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.
You do the Shake-Up Pokey
And you mix them all around.
And /th/ is what comes out!
You put a "p" in.
You put an "h" in.
You put them both in
And you mix them all about.
You do the Shake-Up Pokey
And you mix them all around.
And /f/ is what comes out!
(interlude)
You put a "w" in.
You put an "h" in.
You put them both in
And you mix them all about.
You do the Shake-Up Pokey
And you mix them all around.
And /wh/ is what comes out!
You put a "w" in.
You put an "r" in.
You put them both in
And you mix them all about.
You do the Shake-Up Pokey
And you mix them all around.
And /r/ is what comes out!
You put a "k" in.
You put an "n" in.
You put them both in
And you mix them all about.
You do the Shake-Up Pokey
And you mix them all around.
And /n/ is what comes out!
You put a "n" in.
You put an "g" in.
You put them both in
And you mix them all about.
You do the Shake-Up Pokey
And you mix them all around.
And /ng/ is what comes out!
