Jim Dixon Lyr Add: The Alphabet Song variations (119* d) Lyr Add: A CHRISTMAS ALPHABET (Carolyn Wells) 17 Mar 22


I started searching for the song that was mentioned by "ev" and by Dar Mueller above, that begins: “A is for the apple that hangs upon the tree” and I haven’t found it (yet) but I found this, which, I suppose, isn’t the same song but may be worth having in its own right:

From The Merry-go-round by Carolyn Wells (New York: R. H. Russell, 1901), page 151:


A CHRISTMAS ALPHABET

A is for Apple that hangs on the tree.
B is for Bells that chime out in glee.
C is for Candy to please boys and girls.
D is for Dolls with long flaxen curls.
E is for Evergreens decking the room.
F is for Flowers of exquisite perfume.
G is for Gifts that bring us delight.
H is for Holly with red berries bright.
I is for Ice so shining and clear.
J is the Jingle of bells far and near.
K is Kriss Kringle with fur cap and coat.
L is for Letters the children all wrote.
M is for Mistletoe, shining like wax.
N is for Nuts which Grandpapa cracks.

P for Plum Pudding, a holiday treat.
Q the Quadrille in which each one must dance.
R for the Reindeer that gallop and prance.
S is for Snow that falls silently down.
