An Alphabet Game for Us to Play

2 is for…um…uh…Whistle 2torial?

3 is for “Tri Hanner Tôn.”

To the tune of The Sailor’s Alphabet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9f6voWbQ3c

A is for Abell, a flute compa-nee,
B is the Bb Gen, lower than C,
C is a note that cross-fingered may be,
And D is the chord when three fluters blow D.

Chorus:
Merrily, merrily, so merry we toot,
No mortal on earth like a fool with a flute.
Whistlers and fluters with fipple or lip,
All a-wasting their time on the old Chiff and Fip.

E is for Elderly, Shaws to obtain,
F is for flute, a glass filled with champagne,
G is the key when you count up by four,
And H is for hottie, that’s Andrea Corr!

I is for Irish, the music we chose,
J’s for the joints of our fingers and toes,
K is for Kesh, a most popular jig,
And L’s for the lips that you kiss on a pig.

M’s for the Meg, it’s a conical toy,
N is for Nano, who tootles a Noy,
O is for Overton, chiffy and bright,
And P’s for political, leftist or right.

Q is a key that we never shall hear,
R is for rolls with their timing so queer,
S is for “Shut up and listen, you git!”,
And T is for tonguing, a trickiest bit.

U is for U2, a band with no clue,
V is for venting, it’s easy to do,
W’s for Weasel, a whistle renowned,
And X is the tonehole with finger full down.

Y is for You, and yer doin’ it wrong,
Z is for zany, this Alphabet Song,
Z’s also zampogna, and zebra, and zoo,
Our song is now done, and I’m off to the loo!

Thank you. I was wondering if I had any impact at all. :slight_smile:

but is he skipping?

Politics and puddles? Feh.

P is for pint! :pint:

Still ends up in a puddle don’t it?

So MT’s song could go, “And P is for pint, a puddle done right.”

I certainly do.


(Yo! Mute! New Game!)

Thank you all. You folks are very clever. That’s the best alphabet game I have ever started.
