This is a total cheat, but Gwenda reminded me yesterday of my very favorite version of the alphabet song, and there’s an abecedarian poem of sorts sung at the end. I know. A poem is not quite a song, as not every song is a poem… but, this one is, so this time it counts.
Sesame Street ABC
Amazingly
Beautiful
Creatures
Dancing
Excites the
Forest
Glade, in my
Heart how
I do
Jump like the
Kudo
Listen to the
Music so
Nice the
Organ
Plays.
Quietly
Rests the
Sleepy
Tiger
Under the
Vine tree at the
Water’s side and
X marks the spot ‘neath the
Yellow moon where the
Zulu chief and I did hide.
Sesame Street, man. *happy sigh*
Never mind Sesame Street, how about Ladysmith Black Mambazo?!?!? WAY cool!
Too true! I heard them about the same time I heard Sweet Honey in the Rock – another evocative name also heard on Sesame Street – and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Yay, another abecedarian! What a lovely way to start the day. Thank you. 🙂
