Crazy Abc's Lyrics - Snack Time - Barenaked Ladies

Hey Steve, hey Ed, that sounds nice, what is it? 

Thank you, it, s a, it's an alphabet song I' m working on 

Oh great, a whole new alphabet, I just learned the old one 

A is for aisle, B is for bdellium, C is for czar 

And if you see him would you mind telling him? 

Okay, hang on a second, yeah aisle, bdellium? 

Yeah, aisle like a, like a theater, alright, okay and bdellium? 

Bdellium, it's a gum like tree resin, it starts with a silent B 

And then czar? Yeah, it' s uh like a Russian czar 

You know everybody knows apple, ball and cat 

I wanted to get into some, you know some stranger words 

Right, I see what you' re doing

Okay, Q qat? What? Yeah, it's uh Q A T, it' s an evergreen shrub
