This is one of several songs Lehrer wrote for the children’s television show “The Electric Company”, which focused on reading and grammar skills for children who had outgrown “Sesame Street”. Here the song is about the “sn” sound common in English words.
Like a rooster loves a hen
Like a lion loves his den
Like Barbie loves Ken
I love to do things that begin with S-N
For example . .
I love to sneeze – (a-choo)
Pardon me please – (a-choo)
I like to sniffle
It really feels nice
One handkerchief'll
Just never suffice
But brother watch out for the breeze
When I sneeze – (a-choo, a-choo, a-choo)
I love to sniff – (sniff)
Just take a whiff – (sniff)
I also like snarling
It feels good to me
Snarling is darling
I'm sure you'll agree
But I'm even happier if
I can sniff, – (sniff)
And sneeze – (a-choo)
I love to snore – (snore)
It's more like a roar – (snore)
I like to snooze
I like resting my head
I take off my shoes
And I snuggle in bed
Sometjimes I just lie on the floor
And snore, – (snore)
And sniff, – (sniff)
And sneeze – (a-choo, a-choo, a-choo)
Sometimes I just like to snicker, "tee-hee"
Or snub any snob who is snotty to me
And whenever I have a few moments to spend
I can snoop on a neighbor or snitch on a friend!
But much more than any of these
I love to snore and to sniff and to sneeze
(snore, sniff, a-choo)
(snore, sniff, a-choo)
(snore, sniff, a-choo)
(snore, sniff, a-choo)
(snore)
S-N (Snore, Sniff, and Sneeze) was written by Tom Lehrer.
