Lyrics[]
Why, baby, why
Do you need to learn about Y?
I'll tell you why, come on!
Y goes /j/, /i/, and /aɪ̯/
It can be a vowel or a consonant, there's so many sides of Y
Y is a consonant in words like yarn and yellow
It makes a /j/ sound just for you
But it's a vowel that can sound like /i/ when a baby loves her family
And that's not even all that it can do
Do you hear that /aɪ̯/ in a word like fly?
Well, that comes from Y, it's true
Y goes /j/, /i/, and /aɪ̯/
It can be a vowel or a consonant, there's so many sides of Y
/j/, /i/, and /aɪ̯/
The many sides of Y
