The following verses replace most or all vowels with one given vowel sound (the letters A, E, I, O, and U, except for "Y" (which is sometimes a vowel or consonant). It is usually each of the long vowels sounds of ⟨a⟩ (/eɪ/), ⟨e⟩ (/iː/), ⟨i⟩ (/aɪ/), ⟨o⟩ (/oʊ/), and ⟨u⟩ (/uː/), although potentially any English vowel can be used. For example:
Ay lake tay ate, ate, ate ayples aind bah-nay-nays. Ay lake tay ate, ate, ate ayples aind bah-nay-nays.
Scottish musicians Cilla Fisher & Artie Trezise included the song on their 1982 album and book The Singing Kettle.[3]
Canadian musician Raffi released a version of the song on his album One Light, One Sun (1985). This version only changed the stressed vowels; that is, the vowels in "eat", "apples", and the last two syllables of "bananas". The song was described as one of several "old favourites" performed by Sandra Beech from her 1982 album Inch by Inch in 1984 in the Ottawa Citizen.[4]
The song was also sung on three early episodes of the children's television program Barney & Friends, as well as on Rock with Barney, the final video in the predecessor series Barney & the Backyard Gang. As with Raffi, Barney's version also only changed the stressed vowels. The Wiggles sang a version of the song on their 2014 album, and it's now one of their most popular songs.
A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds in the final stressed syllables and any following syllables of two or more words. Most often, this kind of rhyming is consciously used for a musical or aesthetic effect in the final position of lines within poems or songs. More broadly, a rhyme may also variously refer to other types of similar sounds near the ends of two or more words. Furthermore, the word rhyme has come to be sometimes used as a shorthand term for any brief poem, such as a nursery rhyme or Balliol rhyme.

"Down By the Bay" is a traditional children's song. A famous version was performed by Raffi and appears on his 1976 album Singable Songs for the Very Young; it is his signature song. In an interview with the Vulture Newsletter, Raffi described it as being "An old, old song", saying that "It may have been a World War I song... It came from England." A Greek folk song called "Γιαλό, γιαλό" exists with this same melody. It is an Ionian Cantada, a style of folk music that originated in the late 19th century. Thus, the actual origin of this song may be uncertain.
The grave accent is a diacritical mark used to varying degrees in French, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan and many other western European languages as well as for a few unusual uses in English. It is also used in other languages using the Latin alphabet, such as Mohawk and Yoruba, and with non-Latin writing systems such as the Greek and Cyrillic alphabets and the Bopomofo or Zhuyin Fuhao semi-syllabary. It has no single meaning, but can indicate pitch, stress, or other features.
Portuguese orthography is based on the Latin alphabet and makes use of the acute accent, the circumflex accent, the grave accent, the tilde, and the cedilla to denote stress, vowel height, nasalization, and other sound changes. The diaeresis was abolished by the last Orthography Agreement. Accented letters and digraphs are not counted as separate characters for collation purposes.
