She said "Wait just a minute Why don't you see You use the word "English" (?) "e" I don't want to criticise you It seems your vowels and your language belies you But E in English sounds like I That E's pronounced /i/-/i/-/i/-/i/! Hah! Oh wait just a second ? That thing that you reckon I think you could be correct But what about "the"? There's a f**ing E in "the"! But the E in "the", it sounds like "uh"!
That E's pronounced /ə/-/ə/-/ə/-/ə/! It's all your fault you wanted more It's all your fault you wanted more It's all your fault you wanted more It's all your fault you wanted more Now I'm not sure if we're playing you An /i/ncore, /e/ncore, /o/ncore Or an /ə/ncore anymore It's all your fault you wanted more Now I'm not sure if we're playing you An /i/ncore, /e/ncore, /o/ncore Or an /ə/ncore anymore It's all your fault you wanted more Now I'm not sure if we're playing you An /i/ncore, /e/ncore, /o/ncore Or an /ə/ncore anymore It's all your fault you wanted more Now I'm not sure if we're playing you An /i/ncore, /e/ncore, /o/ncore Or an /ə/ncore!
