about

Last fall I was challenged by Edric Haleen (happinessboard.com/Edric_Haleen.html) to do a song that would be fun for both adults and kids to sing, as a part of his "Edric Song Cycle".

lyrics

The ZYX Song!
By JoAnn Abbott
Piano by Caleb Hines

A B C D R F G, H I J K L M N O P.
Q R S, T U V,
W X Y and Z
Now I’ve sung my A-B-C’s
Next time won’t you sing with me?

Sigh.

Anyone can sing the alphabet forwards,
That’s the way we all learned when we were small.
But I’m gonna sing the alphabet backwards
Show off to everybody and have me a ball.
Z Y X, W V U
T S R Q, P O N!
M L K, J I H G
F E D , C B and A!

Anyone can sing the alphabet forwards
That’s the way we’ve done it since we were kids
But I like to sing the alphabet backwards
So that all my friends say “Look what you did!”
Z Y X, W V U
T S R Q, P O N!
M L K, J I H G
F E D , C B and A!
(spoken) Everybody!
Z Y X, W V U
T S R Q, P O N!
M L K, J I H G
F E D , C B and A!
