lyrics

Your grandmother clips them from the gazette
Piles them by day and Sunday throws out
Your skill with that paper impress to no end
Your skill and resistance I can't comprehend
I never wonder which ones you'll leave blank
All will be filled once you empty your think tank

A I to O, 6 more to go-o-o
A I to O, 5 more to go that you probably know-o -o

[Chorus]
A E I O U, I'm going to use some
I O U some more, I'm going to lose some
I made a vow to vowels, I'm going to use some
I made a vow to vowels, I'm going to lose some

Filling in crosswords won't make you Walt Mossberg
But that daily lust will prevent aging rust
Later the day, the longer it takes
But everyone knows Will Shortz wants it take way
Your vocab expanding, your spelling outstanding
The man of my dreams has a grammar PhD

A I to O, 4 more to go-o-o
A I to O, 3 more to go that you probably know-o -o

[Chorus]

O U. If I can't have U,
I don't want to, have no other letter.

[Chorus]
