Uke-Song: "A LESSON about REDUPLICATIONS"

SONG with UKULELE CHORDS

...

... in a fallout shelter?

MUSICAL UNDERPINNINGS: "The Elements", Tom Lehrer, 1959.

You crave more patter-songs in the style of Tom Lehrer???
T.L. inspired a whole platterful of songs related to our interest in (i) grammatically paired words, including binomials and reduplications, and (ii) Latin loanwords. And, you should have your foot in the door, having mastered the complexities of singing and playing our above offering "Alliterative Binomials".  So, enjoy singing and playing these as well !!!
