National Association of W Lovers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Association of W Lovers is a fictional club seen on the children's television series Sesame Street. Two of the conventions held by the W Lovers have been shown on the show, one of which Ernie attended. The club's president throughout the 1980s, and likely in current times, is Bert from New York City.
The Association has a theme song promoting the value of the letter W. The lyrics are as follows:
Chorus: Oh what is the letter we love?/ The sound that we're extra fond of?/ It's not any trouble-you/ Know it's a W/ When you hear wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh!"
Verse: Without this fine letter/ You couldn't say wash/ Or which, wax, or wiggle/ My gosh./ There wouldn't be wet, warm, or walrus, oh wow!/ There wouldn't be "wood." Would there now?/ Without this fine wuh sound/ Well wink would be ink!/ And week would be eek,/ Don't you see?/ Of course,/ A fine word like waffle/ Would turn out just "affle" (awful)/ Oh W's grand as can be!"/
Repeat chorus

There is also a real-life National Association of W Lovers started in 2002 by Jerry 'W' Floyd as a Sesame Street fan group. It is based in Alabama and meets every Wednesday.
