There's nothing like a letter

But a letter's even better

When a letter has a picture

Of an animal there

'Cause when you get a letter

Then the lucky letter getter

Gets a letter and a picture

Of a panda or a hippo or a bear.

Now come dance an Irish jig with me.

Listen to the sounds, the sounds of the pungi

Listen to the pungi's flowing sound

Bow its head so low

Slithery snake, slithery snake

Slithery, slithery snake.

A great big arch across the grand entrance

Stone-kind of frame and stunning view
