Twinkle, Twinkle Letter V! 

Sing the words of the song for the letter V  to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”


Read, Sing, Play ABC Sing-Along
Words Adapted by Teddy Slater
Illustrated by Liisa Chauncy Guida

Vincent Puts His Violin Underneath His Chinny-Chin
(Lyrics by Teddy Slater, from book “ABC Sing-Along,” sing to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little, Star”)
Vincent puts his violin
underneath his chinny-chin.
Vincent plays it very loud;
Vincent makes his Aunt Vi proud.
Aunt Vi lives to hear him play;
Vincent visits her each day.

The original lyrics, here:

The Star
(Also known as “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”)
Traditional Tune
Poem by Jane Taylor
(From a poem by Jane Taylor, source of these lyrics: The Golden Book of Poetry (1947), the exact wording of the poem varies slightly depending on the source and it is published in many compilations of children’s poetry and song.)

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
How could he see where to go,
If you did not twinkle so?

In the dark blue sky you keep,
Often through my curtains peep
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
