Lyrics to Egypt song hierogliphics horrible histories?

Answer 1

Settle down class,

Now you've passed your grade 1 pyramid sellin'

Yeah, the time has come for me to drum,

Some facts into you about spellin'.

Oh it seems to me your ABC,

Skills are less than terrific,

So buck up boys as we master the joys,

Of the lovely hieroglyphics!

Everyone needs their ABC, its as easy as Vulture, Foot, Basket,

You know how to sing do ray me,

Its easy to spell its hand, Eye thingy, Owl.

ABC: Vulture, Foot, Basket

Do ray me: Hand, eye thingy, Owl.

You'll pass with ease and find its a breeze,

The rules aren't scientific,

Don't have to be smart all you do is start,

With simple Phonetic 'Glyphics.

Next you get to letter to Z,

More things called Logographic,

Finally third, the form of a word,

Determinatives- Horrific!

Everyone needs their Flamingo, House, Sun,

Its simple but Sun can mean Duck everyone,

You all know how to write your name,

Except for me: Tutanefertitkhamun,

Flamingo, House, Sun: Means Duck to Sun,

Tutanefertitkhamun: lets leave that one!

If you find it hard don't be afraid to go and ask your mummy for aid,

Now its time for a spellin' Bee,

That's not how you spell Bee- See me,

Foot, Reed, Reed, Easy!

Cat, Pig, Dog, Rat, Dog, Frog,

Make your spellin' magnific,

You can go up and down, left and right and around,

No punctuation in hieroglyphic,

ABCDEFG, just 700 characters or so,

Now that's done, lets have some fun,

With numbers, here we go!

Everyone needs their 1,2,3,

Its as easy as eye, eye-eye, eye-eye-eye,

You cannot count to 99, easy to write its:

Hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop,

Eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye!
