[Intro]
Yeah, haha
I like this groove
Yeah, I think this one is the one
Ay kids, this is a nice groove to learn how to spell on
And I'm gonna help you out, you know what I'm sayin'
Everybody gather round, come on, come on
[Verse 1: Wonder Mike]
Well I see everybody's coolin' now
So let me tell you what this here song's about
We're gonna show you how to S-P-E-L-L
And when you finish this song you do it well
Come on, where do you start? The alphabet!
Ay yo, where do you start? The alphabet!
Now all you kids all across the land
Say your ABC's like I know you can, come on
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P
Q, R, S, T, U, V
W, X and Y and Z, come on
Now that you know, how it's done
Get ready to spell like a champion
But there's one more thing you need to do
To help make words you need vowels too
[Chorus]
Name the vowels! A, E, I, O, U
Name the vowels! A, E, I, O, U
And what about Y? A, E, I, O, U
Sometimes Y — A, E, I, O, U
Name the vowels! A, E, I, O, U
Name the vowels! A, E, I, O, U
And what about Y? A, E, I, O, U
Sometimes Y — A, E, I, O, U
