BARENAKED LADIES - Crazy ABC's lyrics
rate me<BR>
Hey Steve, hey Ed, that sounds nice, what is it?<br>
Thank you, it's a, it's an alphabet song I'm working on<br>
Oh great, a whole new alphabet, I just learned the old one<br>
<br>
A is for aisle, B is for bdellium, C is for czar<br>
And if you see him would you mind telling him?<br>
<br>
Okay, hang on a second, yeah aisle, bdellium?<br>
Yeah, aisle like a, like a theater, alright, okay and bdellium?<br>
Bdellium, it's a gum like tree resin, it starts with a silent B<br>
And then czar? Yeah, it's uh like a Russian czar<br>
<br>
You know everybody knows apple, ball and cat<br>
I wanted to get into some, you know some stranger words<br>
Right, I see what you're doing<br>
<br>
D is for djinn, E for Euphrates<br>
F is for fohn, but not like when I call the ladies<br>
<br>
I thought phone started with a P like a Ph<br>
No, it's F O H N, it's a, it's a kind of wind<br>
Yeah, I know what you mean by wind<br>
<br>
G for gnarly, I for irk, H is for hour<br>
J for jalapeA+os, good in either corn or flour<br>
Tortillas, let us rhyme<br>
<br>
K is for knick knack, L is for llama<br>
Pramma, llama, ding, what's so strange about llama?<br>
Llama, it starts with two L's, what's the second one for?<br>
No idea, I know loser<br>
<br>
N for neumonic, M is for mdomo, O is for ouiga board<br>
P for pneumonia, pterodactyl and psychosis, Q is for qat<br>
<br>
Okay, Q qat? What? Yeah, it's uh Q A T, it's an evergreen shrub<br>
It's a perfect scrabble word because it's a Q with no U<br>
There's not many of those, you have too much time on your hands<br>
<br>
R is for argyle , no it isn't<br>
Okay, you're right, I couldn't find a good R word<br>
S is for SzA?r, a lovely German river<br>
T for tsunami, a wave that makes me quiver<br>
<br>
U is for urn, but not like earning money<br>
V for vraisemblance from French and therefore kind of funny<br>
<br>
W for wren, wrinkly and who<br>
X is for Xian, an ancient Chinese city, true<br>
Ancient Chinese city, huh? My guitar player, some hotshot<br>
<br>
Y is for yiperite, a very nasty gas<br>
And zed's the final letter and by final I mean last<br>
<br>
Okay, when you say zed for the benefit of our American friends<br>
You really mean Z, right?<br>
No, I mean zed, like, like Zed Zed Top, Zed Zed Top?<br>
<br>
Yeah, you know the guys with the big long beards<br>
Well, except the guy whose name is Beard, he has a mustache<br>
I always thought that was interesting<br>
<br>
You done with the alphabet?<br>
No, extra letters I haven't heard of? I think so<br>
This was a great help, I think<br>
With the contribution you made to world literacy<br>
<br>
Well, I'm just saying, kids I'm just saying<br>
Think outside the box a little bit, box with an R<br>
Yeah, well, no box with a B A L K S like a pitcher<br>
Ah, as opposed to B A C H S<br>
<br>
Right, think outside the box, get into some Rochmaninov<br>
That's Rochmaninov with a W<br>
<BR><BR>
