I'm trying on an alphabet
To see it on for size
It feels quite snug across the Ts
But sure brings out my Is
This one has subtle accents
Though I find Cyrillic finer
And here's one full of character
The tag says 'Made in China'
CHORUS
I'm trying on an alphabet
To be an alpha Betty
And I will alphabetcha
That with one, I will be ready
I'll span the distant consonants
Take on the whole wide word
But to be a lass of letters
I must find the letters first
I'll be fitted with a language
Always seamless, never broken
A suit for me bespoke
For all the words that must be spoken
With letters sewn together
And a few exotic blends
I'll spin a yarn for humankind
And you, my close-knit friends
CHORUS
