3. To Sit in Solemn Silence From The Mikado by W.S. Gilbert
To sit in solemn silence on a dull, dark dock
In a pestilential prison with a life long lock
Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big, black block.
A big black block, a short, sharp shock

4. What a Tadoo What a tadoo to die today at a minute or two ‘till two.
A thing distinctly hard to say, but harder still to do.
We’ll beat a tattoo at twenty ‘till two and a rat-a- tat-a-tat-a-tat two.
And the dragon will come when he hears the drum
At a minute or two ‘till two today,
At a minute or two ‘till two.

5. Fat Black Bucks Fat black bucks in a wine barrel room
Barrel house kings with feet unstable
Sagged and reeled and pounded on the table.
Pounded on the table.
Beat an empty barrel with the handle of a broom,
Hard as they were able.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a silk umbrella and the handle of a broom.
Boom – lay, boom - lay, boom - lay boom!

A bucket of butter, a basket of greens,
A bottle for baby, some berries for Bess,
And a big block of beef for big brother Jess.

8. A Tutor A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tutor,
“Is it harder to toot
Or to tutor two tooters to toot?”

9. Betty Botter Betty Botter bought a bit of butter
But said she, “This butter’s bitter.
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter,
But a bit of better butter will make my batter better.”
So Betty bought a bit of better butter
(Much better than the bitter butter)
And it made her batter better.

10. A Fly and a Flea A fly and a flea in a flue
Were imprisoned so what could they do?
Said the fly, “Let us flee!”
“Let us fly!” said the flea.
And they flew through a flaw in the flue.

Or whether the weather be hot,
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be not,
We’ll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.

12. Theophilus Thistle Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter,
In sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles,
Thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.
See that thou, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles
Thrust not three thousand thistles through the thick of thy thumb.

13. Tongue Twisters Red leather, Yellow leather.
Synonym, Cinnamon, Synonym, Cinnamon.
Unique New York, Unique New York, Unique New York,
Blue glass fruit bowl. Blue glass fruit bowl. Blue glass fruit bowl.
The seething sea ceaseth and thus the seething sea sufficeth us.
Round and round the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran.
