Lyrics[]
Tad: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! (this line was cut from the Leapster version)
At this time we are proud to present... the alphabet, from A to Z!
Some letters are made of straight lines
And some are curvy and round.
But every letter makes a sound!
Letters: (variously) The A says ah,
And the B says b-b-b-buh.
The C says cuh,
And the D says duh.
The E says eh,
And the F says ff.
The G says guh,
And the H says hh-hh-hh-hh.
The I says ih,
And the J says juh.
The K says kuh,
And the L says l-l! l-l!
The M says mmm,
And the N says nn.
The O says o-o,
And the P says puh.
The Q says kwuh,
And the R says rr.
The S says ss,
And the T says tuh.
The U says uh,
And the V says vv.
The W says wuh, wuh, wuh, wuh.
And the X says ks.
The Y says yuh...
Letter Z (Lily in the Leapster version): ...and the Z says zzz...
Tad: ...And those are all the letters in the factory!
Professor Quigley: If you practice,
It's not hard to learn the alphabet!
Every letter makes a sound!
Every letter makes a sound!
Tad: What you hear... is what you get!
Oh, yeah!!!

Trivia[]
- An instrumental version is heard as a score in the first page of the LeapPad book, "Tad's Great Day at the Letter Factory".
- The 2nd variant is heard in the tape Phonics Favorites! on the Learning Screen Karaoke, using letters A, C, E, G, I, O, U, and Y.
- In the Letter Factory board game, sometimes Professor Quigley would sing a short version of the song for a letter.
- In the original video, the Z sings its line in Lily's voice; however, in the Leapster version, Lily sings Z's line and Tad does not shout his first line.
- The words are in the lyrics of the song Introducing the Vowels.
- In Letters on the Loose, Professor Quigley sings Z's line.
