My friend Bilby Lighthouse wrote this song. He played the piano and sang, and then I added a lot of wet backing vocals to irritate him. Although the song wasn’t written as an ESL activity, I’ve made it into one, because (a) it’s short, (b) it uses some interesting words, and (c) I like it.
Here are some words/phrases. Fit them into the song lyrics below. Then afterwards you can listen to check the answers.
brand new, cigar, drawer, guy, met, room, runs, single, supposed to, wonder, wrong
