Tom Lehrer - Silent E lyrics

Who can turn a can into a cane?

Who can turn a pan into a pane?

It's not too hard to see

It's Silent E

Who can turn a cub into a cube?

Who can turn a tub into a tube?

It's elementary

For Silent E

He took a pin and turned it into pine

He took a twin and turned him into twine

Who can turn a cap into a cape?

Who can turn a tap into a tape?

A little glob becomes a globe instantly

If you just add Silent E

He turned a dam - Alikazam! - into a dame

But my friend Sam stayed just the same

Who can turn a man into a mane?

Who can turn a van into a vane?

A little hug becomes huge instantly

Don't add W, don't add X, and don't add Y or Z,

Just add Silent E
