Crazy ABC's

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

OK, hang on a second, yeah aisle?

Yeah, aisle like a, like a theatre.

Alright, OK, 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

OK, 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

OK, 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.

OK, 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"
