A Conversation for Traditional Children's Songs - UK

Alphabet Song

In my experience the Alphabet song didn't have a zee sound at the end in the UK.

The ending I learnt as a child (1950's) was
...X - Y - Z
Sugar on your bread
If you don't like it
You've got to go to bed.

Sho - employed again!

we sing a British version of th song, because I refuse to allow the Gruesomes to call Z(ed) Z(ee)

As far as I know we learned it on Blue's Clues but it could have been elsewhere.

it ends
... W X Y Z(ed) you see
now you know your A B C etc etc
