I get no kick out of A B, C and D are just letters to me And E makes me endlessly blue But I get a kick (she kicks a fish with her tail, as she does in each verse) Out of U I get no fun from an F G, H and I merely cause me to sigh And J really makes me boo-hoo But I get a kick Out of U K, L, M, N O, P, Q, R, S Are nothing once you've seen them 'Though T and V don't appeal to me I'm nuts for what's between them
