Before the ABCs
There was a period of time when people had to memorize the alphabet before there was a song.
The order of letters in the alphabet has no meaning, A needs not come before B, its just that way because of the song.

The song also only works in English. Plenty of non-English people learn the alphabet without the song.

My maths teacher used to make us do the odd questions. My friend and I made a song for acegikmoqsuwy. Anything is possible.
