lyrics

Mr. Hoo said, "A E I O U."
Mr. E said, "Hoo U O me Y."
Mr Hoo said, "A I O U six."
Mr. E said "We only need five."

Five vowels to complete this sentence
Get the quick brown fox jumping all around
Why ask Y to come crash the party?
We don't need hymn gym or rhythm. We've got 5.

"E I O U A Y" says the Hoo.
"O A Y we can lose" says the E.
"You are wise with no Ys E" says Hoo.
If we need Y an IE will do!

Five vowels to complete this sentence
Get the quick brown fox jumping all around (the lazy dog)
Why ask Y to come crash the party?
We don't need hymn gym or rhythm we've got five.
Five vowels to complete this sentence

Just five: A E I O U

huh!

Magic Cardboard Ride
by Matt Clark

Matt Clark is our good pal (he played bass on many songs on "Junior"), and the ABC Guys joined him on several tracks, and Mr. Hoo produced many of the songs, and there's a song about Mr. Hoo on it. The Alphabeticians
