Lyrics:
A variant changes the last two lines to:
...or...
What does the A say? A and Ah What does the B say? Ba Ba Ba (actually only the leading sound of B is sung, i.e. suppress the vowel) What does the C say? Ka Ka Ka (same here, only the vowels are sung with the real pronunciation.) What does the D say? Da Da Da What does the E say? E and Eh ... ... (continue for each letter with several slightly different melodies) ... ... What does the X say? Ks Ks Ks What does the Y say? Ya Ya Ya What does the Z say? Zzz Zzz Zzz What do you call these phones and sounds? English alphebet letters. Yeah!
This song teaches youngsters that each letter has a name and the sounds that it makes. Just like the dog says woof; the cat says meow; the "I" says eye and Eee.
