[1] H, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, (p)... (the elemental problem rises because they crammed an extra letter into this line and distinguishing each individual letter gets muddy because they used the two D notes for four letters - l, m, n, o. This is not optimum)
[2] S, r, q, p, o, n, (m)... (gives each letter an opportunity to be clearly enunciated)
[3] How, I, won, -der, what, you, (are)...
[4] Yes, sir, yes, sir, three, bags, (full)
[0] G, G, F, F, E, E, (long D)
[1] Q, r, s, t, u, (v)... (pause on the F at S, or use a long F between S and T sop that the third and fourth notes merge on S)
[2] L, k, j, i, h, g, (f)... (fits the flow and allows each letter to have a distinct sound)
[3] Up, a, -bove, the, world, so, (high)
[4] One, for the, mas, -ter, one, for the, (dame)
[0] G, G, F, F, E, E, (long D)
[1] W, x, y, and, (z)... (Both notes G, F are merged to handle the single letter they are sounding and the E includes "Y and" to get you to the last letter)
[2] E, d, c, b, and (a). (This handles the rhythm like we see in [1] treatment of the stretching or pause on the third letter of the series)
[3] Like, a, dia, -mond, in, the, (sky)
[4] One, for the, lit -tle, girl, who, lives, down the, (lane)
That's all I got. That's how I sing it. I tried to break out the notes as they flow in each song. Commas separate each note in the song and the parentheses around the last word or letter denote a long note. Where you see two words behind one comma those two words use the same note - "for the" is an example. It all fits for me though I guarantee that there is more than one way to skin this cat. This way works for me.
