Lyrics
Prairie Dawn's Purple Book: (spoken) Sssss! Say hey! I'm Prairie Dawn's Purple Book, and I'm here to tell you people something about the letter "S".

(sung) Oh, I'm Prairie Dawn's Purple Book And I look like the letter "S"ssss. Oh, yes.

I'm all wiggly and curvy, And I look like the letter "S"ssss. I confess.

But do you know the sound Of Prairie Dawn's Purple Book? Well, the sound of the letter "S" Is the sound I make.

(spoken) I say "Sssssss!" Let me tell you about it. Out of sight.

(sung) I say "Sssss!" in the morning, "Sssss!" in the afternoon.

(spoken) Yes, I do to all my snake friends.

(sung) I say "See you later, Slinky." She's my sister. I say "See you soon."

(spoken) Yeah, she's super slick.

(sung) Yeah, I'm Prairie Dawn's Purple Book, And I have to confess That I look and I sound just like the letter "S".

(spoken) Now come on, all you children, and make that "S" sound with me. Here we go. Ssssssssssss! Yeah, that's fine. That's the sound you hear in the beginning of a word like "sing" or "storytime." Let's do it again. Ssssssssssss! Yeah, you hear that sound in the beginning of a word like "seesaw," "silly," "super," "star," or "seven."

(sung) Yeah, I'm Prairie Dawn's Purple Book, And I have to confess That I look and I sound just like the letter "S".

(spoken) Ssssssssssss! So long.
