Subtitled 'The Alphabet Song', this
charming love ballad spells the listener through most of the alphabet and finds
a fresh way to say 'I love you' with almost every letter along the way. It's
exactly the kind of novelty tune Perry Como has always had great success with on
jukeboxes and in record shops. Small wonder, since its writers, Buddy Kaye and
Sidney Lippman, came by novelty naturally. Kaye started writing music for Popeye
cartoons in the movies and later wrote such pop hits as 'Don't Be a Baby,
Baby' and 'Full Moon and Empty Arms.' Lippman was the composer of
'My Sugar id so Refined' and 'Chickery Chick'.
