Look up high — what's coming down?
A great big A has come to town!

What starts with A?
Apple, ant, alligator, ambulance, airplane!
A, A, A!

Poff has an apple, big and round,
Wibble, wobble, up and down —
A-a-apple starts with A!

Carrying a crumb — I think it can!
A-a-ant starts with A!

Up in the sky, everybody wave,
An airplane's flying, hip hooray —

An alphabet song about one letter instead of all twenty-six. A great big A comes down into town, and five things that start with it follow, a verse each: Poff has the apple, Toti finds the ant, Nibs spots an alligator that turns out to be inflatable, Lilly hears the ambulance coming, and everybody waves at the airplane.
Halfway through it stops to teach the sound — “A says ah, ah, ah!” — and the airplane is saved for last on purpose, because airplane is the one word of the five that does not make it. The quiz at the end sorts five things into yes and no, which is how a child shows they have got it.
