Some of my favorite English tongue twisters are below, but it seems like
when I tried to teach them to Japanese people, they didn't have any
trouble because they break the syllables up differently an make slight
changes to the pronounciation.

Red bugs bleed black blood. Black bugs bleed red blood.

Rubber baby buggy bumpers.

Toy boats. (repeat it as fast as you can)

   "Behind there is a lake. In the lake there are two chickens". I think I
   remembered it wrong, specially the position of the "$B$o(Bs" and "$B$O(Bs".
   Can somebody correct me ?

I think the "niwa" you translate as "lake" means "yard" or "garden." And
I remember the second part as:

$B$K$o(B $B$K$O!"$K$o(B $B$K$o$H$j(B $B$,(B $B$$$^$9(B.
$BDm(B   $B$K$O!"#21)(B    $B7\(B    $B$,(B $B$$$^$9(B.

There is another one that I can't remember well enough to quote, bits of
it are:
