The familiar "alphabet song" was originally copyrighted by Charles Bradlee in 1935, however he only created the lyrics. The tune is the same used for "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," and is originally from a French folk song called "Ah! Vou dirai-je, Maman." Some have mistakenly attributed this song to Mozart because he produced several themes on the original folk song.
The melody for the alphabet song is based on a French folk tune, "Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman". It is also the melody to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Baa Baa Black Sheep.
The lyrics, obviously, are the letters of the alphabet.
The song was first copyrighted in 1835 by the Boston-based music publisher Charles Bradlee, and given the title "The A.B.C., a German air with variations for the Flute with an easy accompaniment for the piano forte".
The Alphabet Song (ABC song) is a learning song taught by pre-schools and schools in many English-speaking countries. There are variations to the lyrics that are not specifically the 26 letters of the alphabet.

The first copyrighted version was published in 1835 by Charles Bradlee of Boston. Its long title was "The A.B.C., a German air with variations for the flute with an easy accompaniment for the piano forte."
The melody employed is a Mozart piano tune, the same used for Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. The general lyrics are:
"A-B-C-D-E-F-G,
H-I-J-K L-M-N-O-P
Q-R-S, T-U-V
W, X, Y and Z
Now I know my ABCs
Next time won't you sing with me?"
(Variations to the last line include: "Tell me what you think of me.")
Other versions incorporate extra lines, or use the pronunciation "zed" for Z.

In the 1780s, Mozart made the tune of it. (originally for the song he composed, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star") But then 50 years later an American music publisher, Charles Bradlee, put the ABCs to that tune and copyrighted it in 1835. Mozart made the tune of the Alphabet song, (and Twinkle Twinkle and Baa Baa Black Sheep) not the lyrics.

One way to teach the alphabet is to sing it. People tend to remember things faster when it is in a song. Another way to teach children the alphabet is to use flash cards.
flashcards are one of the best ways to learn a new alphabet.
I think it's because it fits well in the alphabet song? LMAO
