[Intro – Spoken rhythmically]
Hey readers, ready to sing?
When U and R are together, they make one sound!
Not “you-are”… not “urr”…
They say /ER/! 🎉
🎶 Chorus (Repeat after every verse)
UR says /er/, /er/, /er/
UR says /er/, /er/, /er/
When R is bossy, you will see,
It changes U’s sound instantly!
UR says /er/, /er/, /er/ 👏
🎵 Verse 1 – Action Words
There’s a nurse with a purse at work
When you turn, don’t get hurt
Feel the burn from the hot sun rays
Let’s say those UR words loud today!
👉 (Point to ear when saying /er/)
Chorus
🎵 Verse 2 – Movement Fun
Can you turn? (spin around!)
Can you surf without a sound? (surf pose)
Make a curl with your finger tight
Shaggy fur is soft and light!
Move your body when you say
Bossy R words the UR way!
Chorus
🎵 Verse 3 – Silly Picture Words
A purple turtle took a turn
Sat on a chair and said, “Don’t burn!”
A burger slipped right off the plate
That silly lunch could hardly wait!
UR in the middle, UR at the start
Listen for /er/ — you’re really smart!
Chorus
🎵 Verse 4 – Listening Game
If you hear /er/, clap one time 👏
Burn! (clap)
Turn! (clap)
Sun! (no clap)
Hurt! (clap)
UR is the sound we know
Bossy R steals the vowel show!
Chorus (Sing Twice at End)
UR says /er/, /er/, /er/
UR says /er/, /er/, /er/
When R is bossy, you will see,
It changes U’s sound instantly!
UR says /er/, /er/, /er/ 🎉
Last line spoken:
“Bossy R RULES the vowel school!” 😄
