“Y” for Yes!
Narration by John Jacobson
I’m standing here with my arms in the air.
No need to point. No need to stare.
If you’re wondering why my arms are high,
I’m standing here like the letter “Y.”
Words and Music by John Jacobson
Y is the letter that I like the best!
Y is the letter that I like the best!
Y is the letter that I like the best,
‘Cause Y E S spells YES.
Y is the letter that I like the best!
Y is the letter that I like the best!
Y is the letter that I like the best,
‘Cause Y E S spells YES.
YES I can! YES I will!
Y can give a speller such a thrill!
That is why I like Y,
‘Cause Y E S spells YES!
Oh Y E S spells YES!
’Cause Y E S spells YES!
Give Me a “Z”
Narration by John Jacobson
We’ve Alphabopped our alphabet,
And never even broke a sweat.
We started off at A B C,
At last we come to the letter “Z.”
Words and Music by John Jacobson
Give me a Z Z Z and I can ZIP ZIP ZIP
Around the ZOO ZOO ZOO with you.
Give me a Z Z Z and I can ZIP ZIP ZIP
Around the ZOO ZOO ZOO with you.
Give me a Z Z Z and I can ZIP ZIP ZIP
Around the ZOO ZOO ZOO with you.
Give me a Z Z Z and I can ZIP ZIP ZIP
Around the ZOO ZOO ZOO with you!
Z for ZAP, and there’s a Z for ZERO,
And a Z for ZEBRA ZONE. And there’s a
Z for ZIPPER and a Z for ZESTY
And ZUCCHINIS on the phone!
Give me a Z Z Z and I can ZIP ZIP ZIP
Around the ZOO ZOO ZOO with you.
Give me a Z Z Z and I can ZIP ZIP ZIP
Around the ZOO ZOO ZOO with you.
Give me a Z Z Z and I can ZIP ZIP ZIP
Around the ZOO ZOO ZOO with you.
Give me a Z Z Z and I can ZIP ZIP ZIP
Around the ZOO ZOO ZOO with you!
And we can ZIP around the ZOO.
So here’s a Z Z Z for you.
(whisper) ZAP!
Ending Narration by John Jacobson
We hope you liked our little show.
We thank you for helping us to grow.
We know our learning will never stop.
And we’ll do our best with AlphaBOP.
(End program with a reprise of “AlphaBOP.”)
