Lyrics:
U is in duck -- it likes to use its beak
U is in Sunday -- the first day of the week
U is in truck -- it honks as it goes by
U is for umbrella -- it keeps you nice and dry
U is in button -- it's shiny and it's round
U is in jump -- get your feet up off the ground!
U is in cup -- you fill it with your drink
U is in skunk -- it smells so bad it stinks
U is in run -- it's fun to run and play
U is in lunch -- we eat it at midday
U is in sun -- it rises every day
U is for up -- let's go up, up and away!
