Answer:
TEACHER:
Settle down class, now you've passed your Grade 1 Pyramid Selling.
Yeah, the time has come for me to drum some facts into you about spelling.
Oh, it seems to me your ABC skills are less than terrific.
So buck up boys, as we master the joys of the lovely Hieroglyphic. Wooh!
Everyone needs their ABC; it's as simple as vulture foot basket.
You know how to sing doh ray me: easy to spell, it's hand eye-thingy owl.
ABC?
KIDS:
Vulture, foot, basket.
TEACHER:
Doh ray me?
KIDS:
Hand, eye-thingy, owl.
TEACHER:
You'll pass with ease and find it's a breeze: the rules are scientific.
Don't have to be smart, all you do is start with simple phonetic-glyphics.
Next you get two letters ascent; more things called logographics.
Finally third the form of a word: determinatives.
KID:
Horrific!
TEACHER:
Everyone needs their flamingo house sun,
simple, but sun can mean duck, everyone.
You all know how to write your name.
KID:
Except for me: Tutanephititikhamun!
TEACHER:
Flamingo, house sun?
KIDS:
But duck is sun!
TEACHER:
Tutanephititikhamun?
TUTANEPHITITIKHAMUN:
Let's leave that one.
TEACHER:
If you find it hard don't be afraid to go and ask your mummy for aid!
Now it's time for a spelling 'bee'!
That's not how you spell 'bee'; see me -
Foot, reed, reed: easy.
Cat, pig, dog, rat, dog, frog,
Make your spelling magnific!
You can go up and down, left and right and around,
For punctuation in hieroglyphic.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
Just seven hundred characters or so!
Now that's done let's have some fun,
With numbers - here we go!
Everyone needs their one two three,
It's as simple as eye, eye eye, eye eye eye,
You can all count to ninety-nine,
Easy to write: it's hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye.
One two three?
KIDS:
Eye, eye eye, eye eye eye.
TEACHER:
Ninety-nine?
KIDS:
Hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye.
TUTANEPHITITIKHAMUN:
Basket?!
TEACHER:
Uh!
