The rain in Spain falls mainly at an angle on the ankles of the angels on the plain.
In response to a comment about the great difference in the vowels of "ankle" and "angle" in the sentence, I've recorded it with the positions of "angle" and "ankle" switched. That recording is here. The formants follow the positions in the sentence. That is, with the words switched, "ankle" has the formants "angle" formerly had, and conversely.
