The alphabet? You’d better learn to listen, kid!
“School Song” from Matilda the Musical, scored by one of my favorite artists, Tim Minchin. Clever and witty!
And so you think you’re A-ble
to survive this mess by B-ing a prince or a princess,
you will soon C there’s no escaping trage-D.
And E-ven if you put in heaps of F-ort,
you’re just wasting ener-G, ’cause your life as you know it
is H-ent history.
I have suffered in this J-ail,
I’ve been trapped inside this K-ge for ages,
this living L.
But if I try I can rem-M-ber,

before my happy days were O-ver,
before I first heard the P-ling of the bell.
Like you I was Q-rious,
so innocent I R-sked a thousand questions,
but unl-S you want to suffer, listen up
and I will T-ch you a thing or two.
U, listen here, my dear,
you’ll be punished so se-V-rely if you step out of line,
and if you cry it will be W should stay out of trouble,
and remember to be X-tremely careful.
Y?
Why? Did you hear what he said?
Just you wait for phy-Z!
