Alphabet Soup Lyrics - Sesame Street

Narrator: While fishing for dinner one day, 

a boy caught a big letter A. 

He then caught a B, 

a C, D, and E, 

and an F, G, H, I, J and K. 

Unhappy, the boy sat and thought-- 

Boy: I can't eat these letters I caught! 

I must catch some fish 

to fill up my dish [holds up an empty bowl], 

or my whole afternoon is for naught! 

Narrator: But as soon as his hook hit the sea, 

he caught L, M, N, O and P 

and a Q, R, S, T 

and a U and a V 

and a W, X, Y and Z. 

[Boy throws letters onto a huge pile as he catches them] 

Now hungry, he stared at the group. 

Then suddenly, grabbing a scoop 

[Boy runs off-screen and returns with a ladle] 

he had a bright notion 

and cooked up a potion 

[cut to Boy standing next to large pot on a fire, filled with letters; Boy holds a bowl filled with more letters in his hand] 

and feasted on alphabet soup.
