[Intro]
Eadd9
[Verse 1]
E
Now, I have a friend named Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
B
And I could say that Rufus found a kangaroo
That followed Rufus home
A
And now that kangaroo belongs
E
To Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
B
Whew! I could say that, but I don't have to
'Cause I got pronouns
A E
I can say, "HE found a kangaroo that followed HIM home and now IT is HIS"
[Chorus]
B A
You see, (uh) HE, HIM, and HIS are pronouns
Replacing the noun
E
Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
E A E
A very proper noun
B A E
And IT is a pronoun, replacing the noun, kangaroo! (How common!)
[Break]
Eadd9
[Verse 2]
E
Now Rufus has a sister named Rafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla
B
If she found a kangaroo I'd say to you:
E
"SHE found a kangaroo that followed HER home, and now it is HERS."
B
But I can't say that...
N.C.
'Cause she found an aardvark
A E
That fell in love with HER and THEY're so happy
[Break]
Eadd9
[Verse 3]
E
And my name's Albert Andreas Armadillo
(No relation to the Sarsaparillas.)
B
Because of pronouns, I can say:
A E B
"I wish SHE would find a rhinoceros for ME, and WE'd be happy."
[Chorus]
B A
You see, a pronoun was made to take the place of a noun
E
'Cause saying all those nouns over and over
E B E
Can really wear you down!
[Break]
Eadd9
[Verse 3]
E
Now I could tell you Rafaella Gabriela and Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
B A E
and Albert Andreas Armadillo found an aardvark, a kangaroo, and a rhinoceros.
B A
And now that aardvark and that kangaroo and that rhinoceros belong respectively to
E B
Rafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla and Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and Albert Andreas Armadillo!
A
Whew! Because of pronouns I can say, in this way:
E B
"WE found THEM and THEY found US, and now THEY are OURS and WE're so happy." Thank you pronoun!
[Chorus]
B A
You see a pronoun was made to take the place of a noun
E
'Cause saying all those nouns over and over
E A E
Can really wear you down
[Break]
Fadd9
[Verse 4]
F
Sometimes, when we take 'em all on the bus
F
People 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]
C Bb
WHO, WHAT, and WHICH are special pronouns that can ask a question
F C
In a sentence where you do not know the name of the noun
But I know:
[Bridge]
Bb
I have MINE, and SHE has HERS
F
And he has his. Do YOU have YOURS?
C
THEY love US, and WE love THEM
Bb
WHAT's OURS is THEIRS--
F
That's how it is with friends
C Bb
And pronouns, you are really friends, yeah!
[Coda]
F
'Cause saying all those nouns over and over
Can really wear you down
[Outro]
Fadd9
