Lyrics
Spelling: Drop E and Add ING Song
I’m I-N-G
And I better not see that silent E
If you want to use me
Get rid of that E
If you want to use me
I’m the mighty, mighty, I-N-G
Bake b-a-k-e
Baking b-a-k-i-n-g
Take t-a-k-e
Taking t-a-k-i-n-g
Chorus
Ride r-i-d-e
Riding r-i-d-i-n-g
Hide h-i-d-i-n-g
Rake r-a-k-e
Raking r-a-k-i-n-g
Make m-a-k-e
Making m-a-k-i-n-g
I’m I-N-G
And I better not see that silent E
If you want to use me.
Chorus
I’m glad that you
Listened to me
And got rid f that
Silent E
