ABBY: Ha, ha.
Hi!
You are just in time because my friend, Tyra,
and I are about to sing a very special song.
Tell them what it is, Tyra.
TYRA: We are going to sing the ABC song.
ABBY: Mhm.
Yes!
Let's do it, Tyra.
Let us sing the ABC song.
TYRA AND ABBY: [SINGING] A, B, C, D--
LETTER Z: Whoa, whoa.
Wait.
Ho!
Ho!
Hold on a second.
Stop the music.
TYRA: Letter Z, what is wrong?
LETTER Z: What's wrong?
I will tell you what is wrong.
I am quitting the alphabet.
TYRA: [GASPS]
ABBY: [GASPS]
TYRA: What?
LETTER Z: Yeah.
TYRA: Why?
LETTER Z: Because of that song.
ABBY: What?
The ABC song?
LETTER Z: Yo!
Whoa!
Hey, you know what?
I don't even want to hear you say the name.
TYRA: What is wrong with the ABC song?
LETTER Z: I will tell you what is wrong with the ABC song.
It's not just about the letters A, B, and C, you know.
There happen to be 26 of us, but nobody seems to care.
Everybody wants to sing the ABCs.
ABCs.
It's all about the ABCs.
But you know what?
I can't take it anymore.
And I quit.
TYRA: Oh, oh, oh.
ABBY: Wait, Z, Z, Z, Z.
TYRA: No, no, no, no.
Don't go.
Don't go.
Don't go.
OK.
What if instead of the ABC song, we sing the A through Z song?
LETTER Z: A through Z song?
TYRA: Uh-huh.
LETTER Z: Intriguing.
How does it go?
TYRA: It goes like this.
Come on, Abby.
Let's sing the A to Z song.
LETTER Z: Hm.
TYRA AND ABBY: [SINGING] A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L,
M, N, O, P. Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z.
LETTER Z: That's me.
Mhm.
TYRA AND ABBY: [SINGING] Now we know from A to Z. Next time,
won't you sing with me?
TYRA: Well, what do you think?
LETTER Z: Are you kidding me?
ABBY: Oh, I think he's onto us.
LETTER Z: That is the greatest song I have ever heard.
TYRA: So you're not quitting?
LETTER Z: Well, how could I quit when
I'm part of such a great song like that?
Come on!
Let's sing the A to Z song again.
TYRA: Absolutely!
ABBY: Ha, ha.
And you can sing too.
ALL: [SINGING] A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P.
Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z.
LETTER Z: [SINGING] That's me.
TYRA: [SINGING] Z.
LETTER Z: Mm.
ABBY: Woo.
LETTER Z: Wow.
ALL: [SINGING] Now we know from A to Z. Next time
won't you sing with me?
LETTER Z: Ah.
You know what?
That is an instant classic.
ABBY: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
ALL: [SINGING] Move your body to the letters.
You know it's true.
Because the ABCs are moving you.
M.
MAN: [SINGING] Make a muscle.
ALL: [SINGING] N.
MAN: [SINGING] Give a nod.
ALL: [SINGING] O.
MAN: [SINGING] Move like an octopus.
It's not that hard.
