Southerners generally break up words with single vowels into double vowels, or diphthongs

So that the pronunciation of words like "yes" and "glad" come close to sounding like:

A-a-a-ay

First I'mma scoop up the females

Pick up an ounce of fair veal

Drop that off in Riverdale

They coming straight to own that ill

What a party don't start until a quarter to twelve

And don't nobody start cutting 'till cutter get down

You can catch me-

(Ay, ay)
