Letter B
sung by The Sesame Street Beetles
to the tune of "Let It Be"... duh! :)
Lyrics by Christopher Cerf
When I find I can't remember
What comes after
"A" and before "C,"
My mother always whispers,
"Letter B."
She told me "B" starts
"Big" and "bird" and
"Ball" and "bat" and "battery."
Yes, buh-buh-buh-buh-buh means
Letter B.
Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B.
She whispers "Buh-buh-buh means Letter B."
And when I feel downhearted,
Mother whispers
"B" words constantly,
Like "bib," "Bob," "Bulb," and "bubble,"
Letter B.
Now in my hour of darkness
There's a sound I know will comfort me,
It's the buh-buh-buh-buh-buh of
Letter B.
Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B.
My mother whispers "B" words,
Letter B.
Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B.
My mother whispers "B" words,
Letter B.
Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B.
Bless the "buh-buh" sound of
Letter B.
