Here's one version from quite a few decades ago:
A for horses, B for mutton, C for thighlanders, D for mation, E for brick, F for vescence, G for police, H of discretion, I for Novello, J for oranges, K for ances, L for leather, M for sis, N for mation, O for the garden wall, P for comfort, Q for the pictures, R for mo, S for Williams, T for two, U for big nose, V for l'amour, W for tune, X for breakfast, Y for mistress, Z for breezes. (K refers to Kay Frances, an actress, and S to Esther Williams, a swimmer.)

My dad used to say that, but he called it the cockney alphabet and his was slightly different...

he said C for Miles; D for Enshal (differential) E for Either; and G for Chrissake.

Here's the beggining of one:

'alf a guinea

bet a guinea

game a guinea

dealt a card
