A for agate, A for allosaurus, A for aeronautic
A for atom, A for abacus, A for archipelago
So many words start with the letter A
Wave your hands in the air and let’s learn a few today
Say, “A!”
B for bandicoot, C for clawfoot, D for diorama
E for eavesdrop, F for fritillaria, G for glacier
So many words start with B, C, D, E, F, G
Come on, clap your hands and you can sing them with me
Say, “B, C, D, E, F, G.”
Oh, oh! Just flipping through my OED
H for hemlock, I for ignoramus, J for javelina
K for katydid, L for lanyard, M for mitochondria
N for nocturnal, O for ovoid, P for Paleolithic
Q for quagmire, R for resolution, S for semaphore
Oh, when you’re thumbing through a dictionary
You can’t thumb your nose at all the wondrous words it knows!
T for tailcoat, U for useful, V for vaudevillian
W for warbler, X for xylophone, Y for yarmulke
Last of the bunch is the letter Z, a zesty, zealful letter if you’re asking me Say “Z.”
