This is a very simple song: the alphabet sung to the tune of "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall."

VWXYZ - Oh!
After every chorus, you sing a random nursery rhyme to the same melody: "Mary had a Little Lamb," "Jack and Jill," "Little Miss Muffet," etc.
It's a hard one to find online, as any search for "ABC Song" or "Alphabet Song" turns up the more familiar versions like the one set to the melody of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." You can't search for the lyrics, obviously. But the song does appear to have been sung by folks (Girl Scouts and others) since at least the 1950s.
It can be used after meals to facilitate an orderly emptying of the dining hall. Everyone sings the choruses; the song leader points to a different table for each verse and, after that table sings a nursery rhyme, it is dismissed.
