3.E Eats Everything

A hardly has an appetite
And pokes at food too long
And B can barely bother
Because all the food is wrong
C likes only candy
And chocolate by the box
D is just disinterested
In anything you've got

But E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything
E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything

So toss in on a plastic plate
Or stick it with a fork
Serve it with a shovel
Or serve it on a spork

Yeah, E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything

F is far too fussy
And only eats with fancy wine
G eats only gourmet
But never can decide
H burns food so horrible
All I tastes is smoke
J just likes drinking juice
And K drinks only soda

But E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything

E is eating in a moving car
E is eating upside down
E is eating on a spaceship
E is eating off the ground
L and M and N and P
Won't start 'til O arrives
Q and R and S and T
Are wearing clothes much too tight
U and V and W
Are worn out from this song
And X and Y just will not share
And will not get along

But E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything

But look out now, here it comes
That final letter Z
Now Z's not like other letter
Z's only eating E's
Yeah, Z eats E's
Yeah, Z eats E's
Z eats E's
Yeah, Z eats E's


4.Flying V

Flying V
If you're standing underneath it, you will see when you inspect
it
That a flying V is made of flying geese
The pointed end flies in the lead
So when it flies, it's hard to read
You've got to tip your head to see
Flying V, Flying V

It's a V
In the window of a music store, or on stage at a rock show
Now a flying V is made of a guitar
The pointed end flies in the lead
So when it flies, it's hard to read
You have to be upside-down to see it


5.Q U

Q U
Q U
Q U, they're often a pair
Make 'kw' sounds together
Like 'quick', 'quack' and 'quill'
Q U
Q U
Quack quack, quack quack
Q U, they're often a pair
Make 'kw' sounds together
Like 'squid', 'squash' and 'square'
Q U

6.Go For G

Gorillas in the jungle
Gazelles out in the field
Goats are in the barnyard
And gophers in their holes
Go go go go for G
Go go go go for G
You'll feel glorius, generous, gleeful and great
When you go go go go for G
Goofballs in their go-carts
Girl scouts chewing gum
Grandma with her gingerbread
And the drummer plays a gong
Go go go go for G
Go go go go for G
You'll feel gracious, gigantic, grateful and glad
When you go go go go for G
Grapes, glue, gyroscopes
Go go go go for G
Go go go go for G
You'll feel glorius, generous, gleeful and great
When you go go go go for G

8.D & W

D, look at D
Half a circle, half a moon, an apple slice
There goes D, Captain D
My boy D, Commander D, the well-known D
D's getting on in years so he moves a little bit slower now
D is shy and doesn't get out of the house much anymore
And then there's W, here comes W
It's double wide, it cannot hide its pride, it's W
They call it W, there's that W
It thinks it's king, its all-time favorite thing is W

'W, you think you're so great'
'Well, I am pretty big'
'Yeah, you're okay. You're just not as great as you think you
are.'
'How come I never see you around anymore, D?'
'I got this big TV set at home now. And I like to watch the
sports.'

Fake-Believe, Fake-believe, Fake-believe

F is for Fake-Believe

F is for fun

We're wearing fake fur, and riding on alpacas
On the wild frontier, wearing wax mustaches
Pretending we're cowhands, yodeling like cowhands too
Yodel-ay-he-hoo

F is for fun
F is for fun
F is for fake-believe

Now look at my crown, I'm acting mighty bossy
I'm king of this town, and (my kick?) gets extra frosty
From this moment on, please call me Lord Fauntleroy
That's Little Lord Fauntleroy, please

F is for fun
F is for fun
F is for fake-believe

Fake-Believe, Fake-believe, Fake-believe
Fake-Believe, Fake-believe, Fake-believe
Fake-Believe, Fake-believe, Fake-believe
F is for Fake-Believe


10.Can You Find It

Can you find the hidden 'H'
Where it's hiding?
Is it on the ground
Or in the sky
Or part of something here?
Does it fit somehere inside?
Is there somewhere it can hide?

Can you find it?
Can you find it?
Can you find it?
There it is

Where's the secret 'R'?
Can you see it?
Is it in the train
Or on the tracks
Or at the station-house?
Is the 'R' inside the tree?
Where oh where can it be?


Where is the 'L'?
Is it under the chair?
Is it growing in the hair?
Where could it be?
We have looked everywhere
And I'm sorry to say
That it's part of the 'H'
Which isn't fair

is, W, where are you hiding?

Where is the 'M'?
Is it invisible?
Or is that against the rules?
Where can it be?
Well, it's right in front of you
And I'll give you a clue
It's an upside-down 'W'

There are letters everywhere in this picture
There's a 'B', an 'F', a 'Z', an 'X', a 'P', an 'O', a 'Y'
There's a sideways letter 'Q'
The aforementioned 'W'

Can you find them?
Can you find them?
Can you find them?
Can you find them?
Can you find them?
Can you find them?
Can you find them?
Here they are

13.Alphabet Lost And Found

On this fateful day, in the history of whenever,
An epidemic of missing letters has swept the land.
Whatever the cause, for the sake of future generations,
In the limited time we have been permitted, these stories must
be told.

There was an apple that lost his 'a'
There was a zebra that lost his 'z'
There was a chauffeur that left his 'auffer' on the dashboard
Of the car that lost its 'r'
Well, the car had lost its 'r' in a pothole
On a street that lost its 'e'
When the garbage collector with a missing 'ector' swept it up
With a broom that lost its 'oom'

Where they gonna go without their letters?
How could they survive without their letters?
Where they gonna go to find their letters?
They gonna have to get together-

At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet lost and found)
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet lost and found)

There was a school that lost its 'cool'
When they tired to ring the bell that had no 'l'
With all the letters gone, the spelling bee was canceled
Science teachers had their hands full
English classes could not be complete

Where they gonna go without their letters?
How could they survive without their letters?
Where they gonna go to find their letters?
They gonna have to get together
Where they gonna go without their letters?
How could they survive without their letters?
Where they gonna go to find their letters?
They gonna have to get together

Crowds of people, animals, and incomplete words have been seen
at a previously unknown place to be referred to as-

The alphabet lost and found (alphabet lost and found)
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet lost and found)
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet lost and found) (how
could they survive without their letters)
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet and lost found) (they
gonna have to get together)
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet and lost found) (they
gonna have to get together)
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet and lost found) (they
gonna have to get together)

19.C Is For Conifers

Most with cones for seeds, most with needles for leaves
C is for conifers, my kind of trees
Large junipers and fir, spruce, cedars and pines
C is for conifers, more then five hundred kinds
If you see a Christmas tree or a stack of newspapers or a 2x4
frame of a house
It's probably made from pine trees and pine trees are conifers,
that's what this song is about
Or if you see a plant in the shape of an elephant, or in the
shape of a dog
It's probably a shrub, a conifer shrub pruned into that shape by
someone
Most with cones for seeds, most with needles for leaves
C is for conifers, my kind of trees
Large junipers and fir, spruce, cedars and pines
C is for conifers, more then five hundred kinds

Spoken: There are so many different kinds of conifer trees.
This is just a few of them: Spruce,
Hemlocks, larch, cyprus, juniper,
Fir, Douglas fir, cedar, yew,
Pine, the dwarf conifer,
And the great California sequoia redwood.

Most with cones for seeds, most with needles for leaves
C is for conifers, my kind of trees
Large junipers and fir, spruce, cedars and pines
C is for conifers, more then five hundred kinds

Hey John.
Oh hey John.
What's going on?
Man, I'm confused.
You're confused, why?
I- I'm no good at remembering stuff.
Really?
Yeah.
Like what?

I can't remember what D is for!
You can't remember what D is for?!

I think it's for an instrument you play in a band.
I'm surprised you can't remember what D is for.

I can't remember there's too much noise.
Put your thinking cap on, I'll give you a hint.

See I can't find my thinking cap, I think it's lost!
John, come on tell me, D is for what?

D is for something that you play with sticks.
That's right, that's right, you're getting close.

D is for Drums, yes D is for Drums!
D is for Drums, yes D is for Drums!

Well, I'm glad we got that straight.
Hey John, I need-

I need some juice.
I've got some juice.
Well, let's go to your house.
Okay. I'll meet you over there.
Okay.

28.Stalk Of Wheat

I went for a walk on a stalk, on a stalk of wheat
And it felt like a trillion feet
I was looking for a friend at the end, at the end of the line
And it took me till the end of time

I was all out of luck like a duck, like a duck that died
I was all out of juice like a moose, like a moose denied
I was all out of money like a bunny that's broke
I was all out of work like a jerk who's a joke
And I was out of ideas, like I is, like I is,
Like I is, like I is, I was out of ideas...of ideas

I once had a dream of a gleam, of a gleam in my eye
And I'll have it till the day I die
I had a thought bubble of trouble, of trouble and strife
And I'll have it for the rest of my life

I was all out of luck like a duck, like a duck that died
I was all out of juice like a moose, like a moose denied
I was all out of money like a bunny that's broke
I was all out of work like a jerk who's a joke
And I was out of ideas like I is, like I is,
Like I is, like I is, I was out of ideas...of ideas...of
ideas...of ideas
