I-I-I-I

I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I, I
There are short Is in dip and in hip and in lip
And long Is in lie, pie, and bowtie

I, I, I, I
Sometimes I sounds just like Y
Like the I that's in fried and in stride, lied, and ride
It sounds just like Y, but it's not Y

I, I, I, I
Now let's examine the short I
It shows up in hit and in mit and in pit
We find it in sit, me oh my!

I, I, I, I, I, I, I (What's that?)
I, I, I, I, I, I, I (It's a good letter!)
I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I, I
