Bouncing down like it can touch the sky.
Candy-colored, juicy, and so sweet,
Dancing through the air, a tasty treat.

Final Thoughts
While the original ABCs song “The Alphabet Song” is the most distilled, simple, clear, and catchy version ever possible where all the lyrics are essentially just the letters themselves—this song is a good second option. When teachers want to get a bit more clever and show their students the ABCs in more of a real-life applicable manner, this 2.0 version is one they can certainly turn to.
