Recorded for February Album Writing Month, 2013.

lyrics

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
