Well, every person
you can know,
And every place that you can go,
And anything that you can show,
You
know they're nouns.
A noun's a special kind of word,
it's any name you ever heard,
I find it quite interesting.
A noun's a person, place, or thing.
Oh, I took
a train, took a train to another state.
The flora and fauna that I saw were really great.
I saw some bandits chasin' the train.
I was wishin' I was back home again.
I took
a train, took a train to another state.
Well, every person you can know (like a bandit
or an engineer)
And every place that you can go (like a state or a home)
And anything
that you can show (like animals and plants or a train)
You know they're nouns-you know they're
nouns, oh ...
Mrs. Jones is a lady on Hudson Street.
She sent her dog to bark at
my brother and me.
We gave her dog a big fat bone,
And now he barks at Mrs. Jones.
She's a lady who lives on Hudson Street.
Well, every person you can know (Mrs.
Jones, a lady, or a brother)
And every place that you can go (like a street or a corner)
And anything that you can show (like a dog or a bone)
You know they're nouns-you know
they're nouns.
Oh, I took a ferrv to the Statue of Liberty.
My best friend was
waitin'there for me. (He took an early ferry.)
We went for a walk on the island You know,
And in the middle of summer it started to snow,
When I took a ferry to the Statue of
Liberty.
Well, every person Vou can know (like a friend or the captain of a ship)
And every place that you can go (an island or a sea)
And anything that You can show
(like a statue, a ferry, or snow)
You know they're nouns-you know they're nouns
Oh, I put a dime in the drugstore record machine.
Oldie goldies started playing if
you know what I mean.
I heard Chubby Checker, he was doin'the twist
And the Beatles and
the Monkees, it goes like this!
I put a dime in the drugstore record machine.
Well, every person you can know (the Beatles and the
Monkees, Chubby Checker)
And every place that you can go (like a neighborhood or a store)
And anything that you
can show (like a dime or a record machine)
You know thev're nouns.
A noun's a
special kind of word
It's any name you ever heard.
I find it quite interesting
A
noun's a person, place, or thing.
A noun is a person, place, or thing |
