I Get A Kick Out Of U

Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street

Announcer's voice: Ladies and gentlemen and sardines, Miss Ethel Mermaid!



I get no kick out of A

B, C and D are just letters to me

And E makes me endlessly blue

But I get a kick (she kicks a fish with her tail,

as she does in each verse)

Out of U



I get no fun from an F

G, H and I merely cause me to sigh

And J really makes me boo-hoo

But I get a kick

Out of U



K, L, M, N

O, P, Q, R, S

Are nothing once you've seen them

'Though T and V don't appeal to me

I'm nuts for what's between them

W gives me no thrill



X, Y and Z are not my cup of tea

They just tell me the alphabet's through

But I get a kick

Out of U



All the fish: K, L, M, N

O, P, Q, R, S

Are nothing once you've seen them



Solo Fish: 'Though T and V don't appeal to her

She's nuts for what's between them



Ethel: W gives me no thrill

X, Y and Z are not my cup of tea

They just tell me the alphabet's through

But I get a kick

A really big kick

I get a kick

Out of U
