No Page for Children's Song and Possible Predisessor to the Play!
I am not familiar with this particular topic as a stage play. Originally I had a vinal record that had a childeren's song and I only vaugely knew the lyrics and it was not what this play had at all. It was also called "A, My Name Is Alice". However, it was a children's song to familiarize phonetics; letters with sounds. Similar, to the "A, B, C, D" song. It is noted on Yahoo Answers by a user and is the version I know of.
 * I will transfer it (with "better" grammar) here for others to reply, revise, vote, enter, whichever.

I am not sure how to create a sub-catagory as a disambuation diversion page, under a seperate catagory. It is a "song" but it is also not a play and is rated (language) G. It is very old because my mom gave it to me when I was very little and I am 36 as of Dec. I'm not certian of the rating for the play.
 * The lyrics go as follows:


 * A, my name is Alice. I live in a palace and every afternoon at three a footman serves me tea.
 * Yeah, Yeah, a footman serves me tea.
 * B, my name is Bennie, I haven't got a penny but if I did I'd cut it in two and give a half to you.

Does anyone know N and any clerifications on D and J? X isn't a name; perhaps it was xavier? (oh well.) I tried to fix places that there were too litte syllables to keep up with the beats. I know the tune too but maybe someone will upload it eventually. (USA Dragon (talk) 06:44, 31 January 2011 (UTC))
