Red jelly, yellow jelly. Red lorry, yellow lorry.

But I hit the bottom with Peggy Babcock.

Try saying that quickly, six times.

Any others?

Strewth! I have had a sit down after having a go at that. Not sure about pronounciation though.

You could try the full version of she sells sea shells:

She sells seashells by the seashore,
The shells she sells are seashells, I’m sure.
So if she sells seashells on the seashore,
Then I’m sure she sells seashore shells.

Can do that one Lobby. I learn't that aged about 5. A long time ago. Alongside "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers"

I'm having a lie down. What's this with Persimmon? It's a very strong hardwood.

Love it when threads go haywire! I think I'm on the bottom of the ocean on this one.

My sympathies. I had several goes at a few in front of the mirror (I'm a narsissist, according to my detractors).

Look up "tip of the tongue" in any comedy site. I wrote a few.

It's like reading the alphabet backwards. In seconds.

I do a good one with the NATO one.

But the king has to be Tom Lehrer. For atomic lovers. I can nearly do this. Nothing like practice.

I'm not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant pluckers son,
I'm only plucking pheasants,
Untill the pheasant plucker comes.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
