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.
Let the buh buh sounds, Letter B.
