BOSSY R ©Copyright 1996 by Sherri Boekweg Chorus Bossy R, Bossy R, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy R Bossy R, Bossy R, Bossy, Bossy, R (Have you heard of the king?) He rules the vowels in a very bossy way. (His name is King R) And all his subjects must obey him every day. (and that's not all) He tells them every sound he wants them to say. He even tags along with them each time they want to play. They call him Chorus (That bossy king!) When he's with E or I or U they must say "er." (If you know what I mean) And when they bow to him they say "Your Highness, Sir". (And if they don't) If they forget their sound they cause quite a stir— For dogs would stop their barking and the kittens wouldn't purr because of Chorus (That bossy king!) The A must always say the kingly name of "R." (To please the king) Whenever they are riding in the royal car. (Just for the king) For kings believe they should be treated like stars. And like to hear their name rehearsed No matter where they are, especially Chorus (That bossy king!) The O must open up its mouth and sing out "OR." (The tones he'll sing) And if the king is please he'll have to sing some more. (So he can dream) And if he falls asleep and then starts to snore. The O will stop his song and then he'll hurry out the door, Away from Chorus
