[JB]  A book that’s nice is nicely written.

A coat that’s snug is snugly fittin’.

A train that’s slow moves slowly.

A branch that’s low hangs lowly.

It’s a fine how-do-you-do.

A bell that’s loud is loudly clanging.

A flag that’s proud is proudly hanging.

The snow you shovel’s shovelly.

A day you love is lovely, and it’s true

That “ly”, we’d be in trouble without you.

[MF]  A book that’s nice is nicely written.

A coat that’s snug is snugly fittin’.

A train that’s slow moves slowly.

A branch that’s low hangs lowly.

It’s a fine how-do-you-do.

[JB]  A bell that’s loud is loudly clanging.

[MF]  A flag that’s proud is proudly hanging.

[JB, MF]  The snow you shovel’s shovelly.

A day you love is lovely, and it’s true

[MF]  That “ly”, we’d be in trouble without

[JB]  “Ly”, we’d be in trouble without

[JB, MF]  “Ly”, we’d be in trouble without you.  You.  You, you-you.
