Those are all great ones, this one has to be said aloud to be fully enjoyed:
———————————————-
"One smart fellow, he felt smart.
Two smart fellows, they felt smart.
Three smart fellows, they all felt smart."
———————————————-
It is somewhat long, but there are no complex words so seems very simple… until you attempt to say it quickly–then the fun starts. Enjoy.

My eighth-grade English teacher taught us this one, and I've never seen it anywhere else, including the Internet:

Said Simple Sally Susan to Smiling Simon Samuel Simpsons, "Shall Simple Sally Susan and Smiling Simon Samuel Simpson go sailing on Smiling Simon Samuel Simpson's small sailboat?" "Sure!" said Simple Sally Susan to Smiling Simon Samuel Simpson. So Simple Sally Susan and Smiling Simon Samuel Simpson went sailing on Smiling Simon Samuel Simpson's small sailboat, singing silly, sweet songs.

There's one my friend Kayla knows that begins, "If you're going to put your liquor in your locker, it is swift to put a lock upon your stock." But that's more of an enunciation aid than a tongue twister. Ahh, theater kids.

"I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit, and on that slitted sheet I sit."

"I am not a fig plucker, nor a fig plucker's son, but I will keep plucking figs til the fig plucking's done."
