Another vote for the American ZEE here.

Maybe something like...
ABCDEFG,HIJKLMNOP,QRS,TUV, WXY & Zed
Now I know my X,Y, Zed's
They're all stored here in our heads! :)
God. I'll shut up now! ::)

Rack up another American 'zee'. Common expression "Zee like in Zebra".

I guess it's kind of like the letter W....
We don't say 'double-u-indow' for window.
I don't know Delalluvia. It's a good question. :)

ABCDEFG
HIJKLMNOP
QRSTUV
WXYZ
Now I know my ABCs
Tell me what you think of me.

I learned it slightly different, with "zed" and it rhymes:
ABCDEFG
HIJKLMNOP
QRS and TUV
WX and Y and Z
WX and Y and Z
Now I know the alphabet
