When I read my alphabet - something just didn't jive.
There are twenty-six letters - I saw twenty-five.
So I searched until I found - one was taken away.
There was just a blank space - 'tween the 'M' and the 'K'.
No 'L'! No 'L'! Where'd it go? Can't tell!
Twenty-five letters don't work quite as well.

Without 'L' we cannot "_augh" - and we never will "_ove".
We can never "_ook" up at - the "_ight" that's above.
We can't "_ock" our house up tight - when we "_eave" it each time,
And we never can taste - a fine "_emon" or "_ime".
No 'L'! No 'L'! It'd be hard to spell!
At least no one would get head "_ice" - that is swell.

Even though we'd miss the 'L' - here is this favored land,
Something tell me they wouldn't - miss it in Japan. (Rots of ruck!)
But within the English world - 'L' is part of our blood,
And without it we all - would sound like Elmer Fudd!
No 'L'! No 'L'! Much to sad to tell!
Without it our "_yrics" would just sound like hell!
