Silent E
(private version)

words and music by Tom Lehrer


Silent E,
Silently,
Turns a cap into a cape,
Turns a Jap into a jape,
And just last night
[spoken:]
It turned a simple rap into a rape!


I tell you, bud,
It makes a dud into a dude.
It'll even make crud
Sound
Crude.

And thanks to silent E, lucky me,
I used to hop, but now I hope,
I used to slop, now I just slope,
And best of all,
My pop is now the Pope!
