[LC]  Thuh, thuh, thuh.  Thanks to thuh,

We can say “thirsty”.  We can say “thunder”.  We can say “thick”.

[MF]  Thuh, thuh, thuh.  Thanks to thuh,

We can say things like, “Boy, do I hate arithmetic.”

[LC]  Thuh, thuh, thuh.  Thanks to thuh,

We can say “birthday”.  We can say “mothballs”.  We can say “mouth”.

[MF]  Thuh, thuh, thuh.  Thanks to thuh,

We can say, “Thirteen thousand thirsty thrushes just flew south.”

[LC]  We can say, “Athletes have to be enthusiastic!”

[MF]  Or, “I think I took a bath in thirty-three.”

[LC]  “A healthy, wealthy, truthful, youthful Ethel.”

[MF]  Or, “A toothless python has my sympathy.”

[LC, MF]  Thuh, thuh, thuh.  Thanks to thuh,

We can say “something” loud and strong.

Thuh, thuh, thuh.  Thanks to thuh,

We can say “nothing” all day long.

[LC, MF]  Thuh, thuh, thuh.  Thanks to thuh,

We can say “thanks”, like in this song.

Thuh, thuh, thuh.  Thanks to thuh,

We can say “nothing” all day long.
