Letra

    Hey Steve!
    Hey Ed, that sounds nice, what is it?
    Thank you, it's an alphabet song I'm working on
    Oh great, a whole new alphabet,
    I just learned the old one.


    A is for aisle
    B is for bdellium
    C is for czar
    And if you see him, would you mind telling him-


    Okay, hang on a second, yeah aisle?
    Yeah, aisle like a, like a theatre.
    Alright, okay, and bdellium?
    Bdellium, it's a gum like tree resin, it starts with a silent B
    And then czar?
    Yeah, it's uh- like a Russian czar.
    You know, everyone knows apple ball and cat,
    I wanted to get into some you know,
    some stranger words.
    Right, I see what you're doing.


    D is for djinn
    E for Euphrates
    F is for fohn, but not like when I call the ladies


    I thought phone started with a "p"...like a "ph"
    No its f-o-h-n, it's a kind of wind
    Yeah, I know what you mean by wind


    G for Gnarly,
    I for irk
    H is for hour
    J for jalapeño
    Good in either corn or flour (tortillas...)
    Nice rhyme
    K is for knick-knack
    L is for llama
    Pramma, llama, ding...


    What's so strange about llama?
    Llama, its starts with two L's
    What's the second one for?
    No idea.
    I know, loser.


    M for mnemonic
    N is for ngomo
    O is for ouija board
    P for pneumonia, pterodactyl and psychosis
    Q is for qat


    Okay, Q - qat? What?
    Yeah it's uh...q-a-t,
    It's an evergreen shrub
    It's a perfect scrabble word because it's a q with no u,
    There's not many of those
    You have too much time on your hands.


    R is for R-gyle
    No, it isn't


    Okay, you're right; I couldn't find a good "r" word


    S is for Saar, a lovely German river
    T for tsunami, a wave that makes me quiver
    U is for urn, but not like earning money
    V for vraisemblance from French,
    And therefore kind of funny
    W for wren, wrinkly, and who.
    X is for Xian, an ancient Chinese city, true!


    Ancient Chinese city, huh?
    My guitar player, some hotshot.


    Y is for yperite, a very nasty gas.
    And zed's the final letter
    And by final, I mean last.


    Okay, when you say zed,
    For the benefit of our American friends
    You really mean Z, right?
    No I mean Zed, like, like Zed Zed Top.
    Zed Zed Top?
    Yeah, you know the guys with the big long beards,
    well, except the guy whose name is Beard,
    he has a mustache
    I always thought that was interesting
    You done with the alphabet?
    No extra letters I haven't heard of?
    I think so.
    Well this was a great help, I think, you know,
    the contribution you made to world literacy
    Well, I'm just saying, kids
    I'm just saying
    Think outside the box a little bit
    Box with an "r"
    Yeah, well, no, box with a b-a-l-k-s, like a pitcher.
    Ahh, as opposed to b-a-c-h-s,
    Right, think outside the "balks"
