[Music]

Charlie Charlie

I'm gonna play out a word I love to play

out of word it's like eating peanuts you

start to play out of words you can't

stop such a simple game

if you can spell the littlest words you

can play you write out the alphabet I

know you can do that right from a to the

end of the alphabet and then under each

letter you put a number in order so

under a goes number one under B goes

number two under C goes number three all

the way to 26 because there are 26.

letters to the alphabet the aim of the

game is to make up words

where the numbers add up to the greatest

sum for example if you were to pick the

word cat

c a t

C is three a is one t is twenty let's

add that up three and one is Four and

Twenty is twenty four well that wouldn't

be as good a word as say toy let me

write it out t o

why now T is 20.

o is 15.

and Y is 25. let's add that up five and

five is ten carry one two and one is

three and two is five and one is six so

toy adds up to 60 and that would be cat

any day

try it you'll like it you'll like it

you'll like it I like it

hey Charlie Horse tell me the truth ah
