Luyện nghe bài hát English is Cuh-ray-zee

English is the most spoken language in the history of the planet.
One out of every seven beings can speak or read it.
Half the world's books, 3/4 of the mail are in English.
It has the largest vocabulary, two million words,
And a noble of literature. But face it:

is cuh-ray-zee!

How can a slim chance and a fat be the same
When a wise man and a wise guy are very
To overlook and to oversee something are very different,
But a lot and quite a few are the same.
How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the
is cuh-ray-zee!

You have to marvel at the lunacy of a language in which your house can down
While it is burning up. You fill out a by filling it in.
In which your alarm clock goes off by on.

Well, English was invented by people, not
And reflects the of the human race.
So that's why the stars are out, they're visible,
But when the are out, they're invisible.

I end it. is cuh-ray-zee!
