Approaches:
Modernise the tongue twister
The challenge/humour of the text is in its verbal complexity
Begin from the lyrics, revealing each line slowly and asking the class to read it aloud chorally
Once a verse is complete, ask them to read aloud in pairs - first a full line, then a couplet, then the verse
Then offer the big challenge of matching the original.
Play a section of the video clip and ask class to follow the words
Play again and ask class to join in chorally
