Hank Snow - The Alphabet Song Lyrics

Recorded by Hank Snow



Now friends if you will listen to me for just one minute please

I'll sing for you a little song from letters A to Z

And if per-chance that they don't rhyme don't lay the blame on me

Because it took me fourteen weeks to get from A to B



A is for the airforce boys with hearts so brave and true

B is for the battle and we're bound to win it through

C is for our country we're sure she'll always stand

D is for the duties that we pledge unto our land.



E that stands for England a nation brave and strong

F is for Fuhrer whose time now won't be long

G that stands for Goering who'll also meet his fate

H is for the heat that waits them in that fiery place.



I is for the iron and the steel that we can sling

J is for the justice boys that it will surely bring

K is for the kahki suits our soldier lads must wear

L that stands for lovers who wait their sweethearts over there.



M is for the many things that we must do without

N is for the navy boys that guard the deep blue route

O is for the officers that stand first in command

P is for the precious lads that form the army band.



Q is for the questioning that waits for every Hun

R is for the roundup time when its too late to run

S if for satisfaction we are sure to share

T is for the time when we will fly right over there.



U is for the Union Jack we're sure she'll never fall

V of course for Victory ahead for one and all

W stands for wayward boys who'll soon be homeward bound

X's stand for kisses that we will pass around.



Y is for them yellow brats, the laugh will be on them

Z is for the Zeigfreid Line that we won't need again

Of all the letters in this song the one that beats them all

Is V for Victory the letter that won't let the old flag fall.
