[Intro]
Eadd9
[Verse 1]
ENow, I have a friend named Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
And I could say that BRufus found a kangaroo
That followed Rufus home
And Anow that kangaroo belongs
To ERufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
Whew! I could say that, but I don't Bhave to
'Cause I got pronouns
AI can say, E"HE found a kangaroo that followed HIM home and now IT is HIS"
[Chorus]
You see, (uh) BHE, HIM, and HIS are Apronouns
Replacing the noun
ERufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
EA very Aproper Enoun
BAnd IT is a pronoun, Areplacing the noun, Ekangaroo! (How common!)
[Break]
Eadd9
[Verse 2]
ENow Rufus has a sister named Rafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla
If Bshe found a kangaroo I'd say to you:
E"SHE found a kangaroo that followed HER home, and now it is HERS."
But I can't say Bthat...
N.C.
'Cause she found an aardvark
That Afell in love with HER and THEY're so Ehappy
[Break]
Eadd9
[Verse 3]
And Emy name's Albert Andreas Armadillo
(No relation to the Sarsaparillas.)
Because of Bpronouns, I can say:
A"I wish SHE would find a rhinEoceros for ME, and WE'd be Bhappy."
[Chorus]
You see, a Bpronoun was made to take the Aplace of a noun
'Cause Esaying all those nouns over and over
Can Ereally Bwear you Edown!
[Break]
Eadd9
[Verse 3]
ENow I could tell you Rafaella Gabriela and Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
and BAlbert Andreas Armadillo found an Aaardvark, a kangaroo, and a Erhinoceros.
And now that Baardvark and that kangaroo and that Arhinoceros belong respectively to
ERafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla and Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and BAlbert Andreas Armadillo!
Whew! Because of pronouns I can Asay, in this way:
E"WE found THEM and THEY found US, and now THEY are OURS and WE're so Bhappy." Thank you pronoun!
[Chorus]
You see a Bpronoun was made to take the Aplace of a noun
'Cause Esaying all those nouns over and over
Can Ereally Awear you Edown
[Break]
Fadd9
[Verse 4]
FSometimes, when we take 'em all on the bus
FPeople really raise a fuss
They start shouting out a lot o' pronouns at us, like
Bb"WHO brought that rhinoceros on this bus?" and
F"WHAT made that horrible noise?" and
C"WHICH one of them is getting off first?"
[Chorus]
CWHO, WHAT, and WHICH are special Bbpronouns that can ask a question
FIn a sentence where you do not know the Cname of the noun
But I know:
[Bridge]
BbI have MINE, and SHE has HERS
And Fhe has his. Do YOU have YOURS?
THEY Clove US, and WE love THEM
WHAT's BbOURS is THEIRS--
That's how it is with Ffriends
And Cpronouns, you are really Bbfriends, yeah!
[Coda]
F'Cause saying all those nouns over and over
Can really wear you down
[Outro]
Fadd9
