I have a suspicion that, throughout Here Come The ABCs, TMBG deliberately avoided doing anything that might suggest a pun on the musical alphabet (the letters used to name notes from A to G).
This song provides the strongest evidence that the avoidance could be intentional. C major, which you get by playing the white keys of a piano, is such a common and popular key that nobody would have found the use of it here a cutesy device. But the song is actually in F sharp major, an unusual key for a rock song that is also the furthest possible key from C going both by pitch and by the circle of fifths.
