The song is sung to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".

The lyrics are:

A - B - C - D - E - F - G -
H - I - J - K - L-M-N-O-P-
Q - R - S -
T - U - V -
W - X - Y and Z.
Now I know my A-B-Cs,
next time won't you sing with me?

One variant is:

Z - Y - X - W - V-U-T-
S - R - Q - P - O-N-M-L-K-
J - I - H -
G - F - E -
D - C - B and A.
Now I know my Z-Y-Xes,
backwards like they sing in Texas.

I have not ever heard this variant, and doubt it can be sung to the tune:

A - A apostrophe - A acute - A tilde - A macron - A umlaut - A-E ligature - B - C - C cecilda - D - E - E apostrophe - E acute - E tilde - E macron - E umlaut - F - G -
H - I - I apostrophe - I acute - I tilde - I macron - I umlaut - J - K - L-M-N-O-O apostrophe-O acute-O tilde-O macron-O umlaut-O-E-ligature-P-
Q - R - S -
T - U - U apostrophe - U acute - U tilde - U macron - U umlaut - V -
W - X - Y and Z.
Now we can spell not a single word,
random letters, look much better.


  • Perhaps the Easter 2007 contest should be the "best" audio .OGG file rendition of it?
