Right, I see what you're doing
DD is for Gdjinn, AE for EuDphrates,

except the guy whose name is Beard, he has a moustache
I always thought that was interesting. You done with the alphabet?
No extra letters I haven't heard of?
I think so
This was a great help, I think with the contribution you made to world literacy
Well, I'm just saying, kids I'm just saying, think outside the box a little bit
Yeah, that's box with an R!
Yeah, well, no box with a B A L K S like a pitcher
Ah, as opposed to B A C H S
Right, think outside the Bachs, get into some Rochmaninov
That's Rochmaninov with a W
