Story Behind The Song

Written for the children's album Shiner, Shriner, and Shop, by Das Sporten. What better topic for kids than the alphabet?

Song Description

A student's alphabetical policies lead him to an impasse

Lyrics

Green Lantern lunchbox got a new scratch today
Carton of OJ and a PB & J
Sit next to Sally, Sing-Tan, Seth and Sammy
We pledge allegiance to the US of A

Mr. Sanders said spend Saturday studying
Today he said to Sam ?Stand up this is a test
The alphabet from A to J?

Whenever I say my alphabet
I always skip the letter S
I really don?t like the letter S
For words like Sonic and Sopping and Stop

Sweat in my seat while Sammy says A to J
Sam starts and stops but then he gets through OK
Stare out the window at the sandbox and slide
Try to avoid the teacher catching my eye

Mr. Sanders said spend Saturday studying
Today he said to Sally ?Stand, this is a test
The alphabet from K to Q?

Whenever I say my alphabet
I always skip the letter S
I really don?t like the letter S
For words like Shiner and Shriner and Shop

Poor Sally?s shy because her stutter is bad
But all her stalling only makes Sanders mad
Now Sally?s done and Teacher looks right at me
My spine is shivering, my lungs start to wheeze

Mr. Sanders said spend Saturday studying
Today he said SingTan ?Stand up this is a test
The alphabet from R to Z?
But SingTan only speaks Chinese
And so instead he calls on me

I really don't like the letter S

Whenever I say my alphabet
I always skip the letter S
I really don?t like the letter S
Whenever I say my alphabet
I always skip the letter S
I really don?t like the letter S
Whenever I say my alphabet
I always skip the letter S
