Lyrics of Alphabet soup

Narrator: while fishing for dinner one day,
A boy caught a big letter a.
He then caught a b,
A c, d, and e,
And an f, g, h, i, j and k.

Unhappy, the boy sat and thought--

Boy: i can't eat these letters i caught!
I must catch some fish
To fill up my dish (holds up an empty bowl),
Or my whole afternoon is for naught!

Narrator: but as soon as his hook hit the sea,
He caught l, m, n, o and p
And a q, r, s, t
And a u and a v
And a w, x, y and z.

(boy throws letters onto a huge pile as he catches them)

Now hungry, he stared at the group.
Then suddenly, grabbing a scoop

(boy runs off-screen and returns with a ladle)

He had a bright notion
And cooked up a potion

(cut to boy standing next to large pot on a fire, filled with letters; boy holds a bowl filled with more letters in his hand)

And feasted on alphabet soup.
