ABC Song. A fun-to-sing alphabet song (1–10)
ABC song
This ABC song is perfect for having fun while learning the alphabet to music.
There are a few differences between the most commonly sung American version and this Japanese version.
The first is how the letters from L to P are sung.
In the English version, this part goes by quickly, but in the Japanese version, each letter is sung more slowly, in the same rhythm as the rest, so you can confirm them one by one.
The second difference is in the latter half of the song.
In the English version, the lyrics invite you to “sing with me next time,” whereas in Japanese, after reaching Z, it goes back and sings from A to N once more before ending.
If you want to make sure you really remember the alphabet, we recommend starting with the Japanese version!
A’ – You’re AdorableEmirī Mūvā
It’s a song written in 1948 with lyrics by Buddy Kaye and Fred Wise and music by Sidney Lippman.
After “You’re,” it strings together words that start with each letter of the alphabet in order.
Each word is a compliment to the other person, but by the time you finish singing, it turns into a confession of love, so I’ve heard that in the United States it’s banned from being sung in educational institutions.
ABC Seven Steps Song
ABC Seven Steps Song teaches the alphabet with a calm, slightly wistful melody.
It’s an alphabet song with a completely different feel from the version sung to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
There’s no call-and-response to sing along, nor does it introduce words that start with each letter—it simply goes through the ABCs in order, plainly and steadily.
For anyone who first wants to focus on the letters themselves and their sequence, this is a simple and recommended way to learn the alphabet.

We are the Alphabet
In this piece, “We are the Alphabet,” it sounds as if the letters are saying, “Get to know us!” The alphabet is introduced in order from A, and each letter is pronounced multiple times.
While the melody itself is slow, the pronunciations move along in a steady tick-tock rhythm, letting learners experience speaking the letters in time with the beat.
By repeating the sounds many times, you can master not only each individual letter but also the ABC order!
Alphabet Song with The Alphabubblies
The distinctive feature of this song is that it doesn’t sing each alphabet letter on its own; instead, it strings together words that start with each letter.
The sound of the folk guitar and the simple melody are catchy, making it easy to remember while associating the words with the letters.
Also, at the end of the song, the letters are lined up and sung twice, so you can learn them in two steps—first with the words and then as individual letters.
