       Dm                                F
You're always aiming paper airplanes at me when you're around
     Am                                        D
You build me up like building blocks just so you can bring me down
Dm                                      F
You can crush my candy cane but you'll never catch me cry
        Am                             D
If you dangle that diploma and I deck you, don't be surprised

I know my ABC's, yet you keep teaching me
I say fuck your degree, alphabet boy
You think you're smarter than me with all your bad poetry
Fuck all your ABC's, alphabet boy

Chorus:
                  Am    G
I'm not a little kid now
              F    C
Watch me get big now
                      Am       G
Spell my name on the fridge now
                        F  C
With all your alphabet toys
                     Am      G
You won the spelling bee now
                          F    C
But are you smarter than me now?
                          Am       G
You're the prince of the playground
                 D
Little alphabet boy

Apples aren't always appropriate apologies
Butterscotch and bubblegum drops are bittersweet to me
You call me a child while you keep counting all your coins
But you're not my daddy and I'm not your dolly
And your dictionary's destroyed

I know my ABC's, yet you keep teaching me
I say fuck your degree, alphabet boy
You think you're smarter than me with all your bad poetry
Fuck all your ABC's, alphabet boy

Chorus

F         Am            G
Alphabet boy, alphabet boy, my alphabet boy
F            Am               G
My Alphabet boy, my alphabet boy,  Ooh-ooh
