Hi,

Ive tried to write the lyrics of this song by Jam Toast.

http://freekidsmusic.com/mps1/JamToast_ABC.mp3

Could anyone help me and check if what I hear is correct (especially for
the 2 first verses)?

Thanks
Matt

A alligator and B for balls
C coconut and D for doll
E elephant, F for fish-fried
Goat got really and Hug high

I ice-cream, J Junebug
K moon k, L for lovebug
M monkey, N for net
O octopus, P for pet

A, B, C, ….. and Z (x2)

Q for queen, R right
Super S and T tonight
U umbrella, V for Valley
W for witch, X for x-ray
Y for yack that's what I said
The last is zoo
That's a Z

Yeah, I know my A B C
Next time won't you sing with me ? ( x2)

Seems about right, though I think it may be 'B for ball' rather than 'balls'
'K moon k' seems weird - why not a word like 'key'?
And 'W' is usually pronounced 'double-you', not 'wuh' as they say it.
They sound as if they have North American accents but they pronounce 'z' in
the English way.

Thanks for your answer.
There's this sentence that I don't understand : "Goat got really and
Hug high"
Could you please help ? Does it make any sense to you ?

Thanks in advance
Matt

None of it makes much sense. To me the line sounds like 'Goat go really and
hug "hi" ' and probably just indicates that 'goat' begins with g and you can
say hello to 'hug' which is the one beginning with 'h'.
I wouldn't look too deeply into it.
