Sy-lla-ble

I am a li-ttle sy-lla-ble

In-deed that's what I am

While 'beau-ti-ful' has three of me

I'm found just once in 'jam'

Li-sten care-fu-lly I'm heard

Lur-king in-side lots of words

I am a li-ttle sy-lla-ble

A bite-sized bit of sound

I'm pre-sent in the things you say

And things you've wri-tten down

Turn a page and take a look

You'll spot me in a-ny book

I am a li-ttle sy-lla-ble

Who's here, per-son-i-fied

Now twice a-ppea-ring in 'he-llo'

Then twice more in 'good-bye'
