That's why my brother says that it's impossible to sing "We're Off To See
The Wizard" from _The Wizard of Oz_ in a Brooklyn accent:
"[b@kOz] [b@kOz] [b@kOz] [b@kOz] [b@kO::::@z]
[b@kOz] of the wonderful things he [dVz]..."
Just doesn't rhyme right :-) .
Judy Garland says something like [bikVz], i think.
