Dang Tricky Words

Ohh, I’m hangin’ my head in shame
For manglin’ English, yeah, I did maim
Dang tricky words too hard to tame
Ol’ blunders and excuses are so lame
Dang tricky words all look the same.

Catchin’ errors has become a game
And this hot dame's always to blame
Who can spell it right and proclaim
Their moment to fortune and fame
Poorest Po Po's lost her acclaim.

Poor Po Po’s now sittin' in
de dun-dun corner
For mixin’ up complement
and compliment
That’s a no-no
Poor, poor Po Po.
