Pajamas in the Bath

Ms. Christina shares her original long vowel song on ukulele.

Lyrics and chords:

[C] [G] [F] [G7] x2

[C] I [G] wear [F] my pajamas [G7] in the [C] bath. x3

Hmm … something is wrong with this song. What could it be? I know, it must be the vowel sounds! Let’s try a long A …

Long A
[C] AY [G] wear [F] mAY pajAYmas [G7] in the [C] bAYth. x3

Long E
[C] EE [G] wear [F] mEE pajEEmas [G7] in the [C] bEEth. x3

Long I
[C] EYE [G] wear [F] mEYE paj-EYE-mas [G7] in the [C] b-EYE-th. x3

Long O
[C] OH [G] wear [F] mOH pajOHmas [G7] in the [C] bOHth. x3

Long U
[C] OO [G] wear [F] mOO pajOOmas [G7] in the [C] bOOth. x3

Hmm … something is still wrong with this song. What’s that — it’s *not* the vowels? You say, it’s the bath? I see! In that case …

[C] I [G] wear [F] my pajamas [G7] in the [C] TUB! x3
