There’s a letter in my cerealA letter in my soupLetter on the ballThat makes me loop de loopA letter on my shirtA letter on my socksAnd all these letters make me wanna rock
To the alphabet boogie on the radioIt’s the alphabet boogie let’s go
Chorus:A C D E F H K L N O PQ R S T U V W X ZIt’s the alphabet boogie on the radioIt’s the alphabet boogie let’s go
Now the alphabet boogieIs an easy danceAnyone can do itIf they have the chanceIt starts with your toesAnd it moves on upJust think of those letters as you dance and jump
To the alphabet boogie on the radioIt’s the alphabet boogie let’s go

Alphabet Boogie - Song Lyrics
Chorus:You start up at the topAnd slide down at an angleUp at the top and slide down at an angleUp at the top and then slideA diagonal goes for a ride
You can make a triangle a diamond or starYou can make N or a Q or an RSlide for an M, A, K, or VYou can make W, X, , or Z
Chorus
Diagonal up, diagonal downDiagonal never goes round and aroundNo curve, no swerveNo bend, and no dotLet’s sing it again in case you forgot

My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean - Song Lyrics
Oh I’m picking up my pencil look at meAll my fingers are where they’re supposed to beOh I’m picking up my pencil look at meWatch me hold it correctly
The thumb is always bentPointer points to the tipTall man helps he helps your pencil gripHe lets the pencil rest right on his sideThe last two fingers tuck them in for a ride
Now I’m holding it just right but not too tightEvery finger is doing it just rightNow you might have missed whatI was showing you!So I’ll drop it and do it again with you
Pick up your pencilsCheck your neighborsDo you have a bent thumb?How does pointer look?Get ready, 1, 2, 3, 4
Now we’re picking up our pencils watch and seeAll our fingers are where they’re suppose to be‘Cause we’re picking up our pencil and you’ll seeWe can hold it correctly
The thumb is always bentPointer points to the tipTall man always helps your pencil gripHe lets the pencil rest right on his sideThe last two fingers tuck them in for a ride
Now we’re holding it just right, but not too tightEvery finger is doing it just right
Now we should be as proudAs proud can beWe can hold it, correctly
Picking Up My Pencil
