Fat Frogs Flying Past Fast reminds me of a childhood ditty.

What a funny bird the frog are
When he sit he squat most
When he hop he jump most
'Aint got no tail at all most hardly
What a funny bird the frog are.
Don't it a shame?

Smae problem the tongue is in the wrong place in relation to the teeth. They are fun though.

"Well, aren't you a smart feller? "

As my dad would say, "Aren't you a fart smeller."

That brought back a few chuckles remembering one that I had memorized and would try to get others to repeat:

I'm not a fig plucker
or a fig pluckers son,
but I'll pluck figs
until the fig plucker comes

the send-up of Dragnet by Johnny Carson was a classic.

That'd be the "Claude Cooper copper clapper caper"!

Thirty dirty purple birds sitting on a curbstone chirping and a-burping and a-eating dirty worms, when along came a jerk and a skirt named Mert who worked in a shirt factory in Jersey. Now with this jerk and the skirt named Mert who worked in a shirt factory in Jersey seen these thirty dirty purple birds sitting on a curbstone chirping and a-burping and a-eating dirty worm – boy, was they perturbed!

Note: This tongue twister should be recited in a “Joisey” accent, e.g., Toidy doity poiple boids sittin’ on a coibstone….

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear,
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy, was he?


I'll have to give some of these tongue-twisters to my Russian coworker. He's always trying to improve his English.
