Template:Infobox song

"26 Lettaz In Da Alphabet" is a cookie song from the LP Underground 8.0 CD, named Sweet Hamster Like Jewels From America!. All songs on the CD were written by Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda and attributed to a fictional group called "MMM...Cookies". "26 Lettaz In Da Alphabet" was described by Mike as "a mock electro-club-banger".[1]

Background

The concept of a cookie song was explained by Mike in the official Linkin Park forums in December 2008: "Working on a song for an album is sometimes a lot of work, and occasionally we need some time to unwind. When Chester and I unwind, sometimes we make another kind of lighter, fun song. We call these songs "cookies." I think came from the idea that you get your dessert (your cookies) after you eat all the rest of your meal."[1]

During a LPU chat on September 4, 2009, Mike said "our magnum opus is "26 lettaz"".[2]

Man, the other day
I was trying to figure out how many letters was in the alphabet
It took me all day, but you know I did it
You wanna know how many letters there are?
26 letters in the alphabet

26 letters in the alphabet
I wear a shower cap so I don't get wet
I put on my shoes so my feet don't hurt
And go to the floor with Ernie and Bert

When I'm on the floor I'm singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
When I'm on the floor I'm singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

I got lots of friends, so I don't need pets
26 letters in the alphabet
Ernie got wasted and Bert went flat
They got kicked out and they can't come back

So they're standing outside singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Yeah, they're standing outside singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Yeah, you know they outside

Do the Ernie
Who's inside?
Do the Bert
Who's outside?
Shake your milky
Who's upside?
Chocolate shirt
Who's downside?
 
Do the Ernie
Who's inside?
Do the Bert
Who's outside?
Shake your milky
Who's upside?
Chocolate shirt
Who's downside?
 
Do the Ernie (26 letters in the alphabet)
Who's inside?
Do the Bert
Who's outside?
Shake your milky (26 letters in the alphabet)
Who's upside?
Chocolate shirt
Who's downside?
 
Do the Ernie (26 letters in the alphabet)
Who's inside?
Do the Bert
Who's outside?
Shake your milky (26 letters in the alphabet)
Who's upside?
Chocolate shirt
Who's downside?
 
26 letters in the alphabet (Check it out!)
26 letters in the alphabet (Here we go!)
26 letters in the alphabet (Yeah!)
26 letters in the alphabet (Here we go!)
26 letters in the alphabet (Woo!)
26 letters in the alphabet (Yeah!)
26 letters in the alphabet (Yeah!)
26 letters in the alphabet

Man, I didn't know I was so smart
My brain hurts
My brain hurts
