Scene:  Three different people with three different stories on the use of silent "e".

[JB]  Now my name is Tim, and ain't it a crime?

My watch is broke, and I don't have the time.

But I got an "e".  Only cost me a dime.

Put it at the end, and I got the time.

Time, Tim, Tim, Time.

But my watch is still broke...

[GB]  Now my name is Dwayne, and I'm gonna win

A real nice prize for my really big grin.

Now isn't that great, and isn't that fine?

But I’m much too young for a bottle of wine.

Wine, win, win, wine.

Can't I have a milkshake instead, please?

[HW]  Now I like to hide, because I'm afraid

Of what's outside in the sun and the shade.

But if I take away this old silent "e",

I’m left here with "hid", and that's where I'll be.

Hid, hide, hide, hid.

Hid, hide, either way, I'm not coming out, and that's that!
