Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
Various Artists Now I have a friend named Rufus Xavier Sasparilla, and I could say that Rufus found a kangaroo That followed Rufus home And now that kangaroo belongs To Rufus Xavier Sasparilla Whew! I could say that, but I don't have to 'Cause I have pronouns I can say, HE found a kangaroo that followed HIM home And now IT is HIS You see, HE, HIM and HIS are pronouns Replacing the noun Rufus Xavier Sasparilla, A very proper noun, And it is a pronoun replacing the noun kangaroo. (How common.) Now Rufus has a sister named Rafaella Gabriela Sasparilla SHE found a kangaroo that followed HER home If she found a kangaroo I'd say to you and now it is HERS but I can't say that... Because SHE found an aardvark And my name is Albert Andreas Armadillo That fell in love with HER and THEY're so happy. Because of pronouns I can say: (No relation to the Sasparillas) I wish SHE would find a rhinoceros for ME And WE'd be happy. You see, a pronoun was made to take the place of a noun, Can really wear you down! Because saying all those nouns over and over Now I could tell you Rafaella Gabriela an aardvark, a kangaroo and a rhinoceros and Rufus Xavier Sasparilla and Albert Andreas Armadillo found And now that aardvark and that kangaroo and that rhinoceros belong respectively to Rafaella Gabriela Sasparilla and Rufus Xavier Sasparilla and Albert Andreas Armadillo Whew! Because of pronouns I can say in this way: WE found THEM and THEY found US And now THEY are OURs and WE're so happy Thank you pronouns! Because saying all those nouns over and over A pronoun was made to take the place of a noun Can really wear you down. People really raise a fuss Sometimes when we take them all on the bus And "WHAT made that horrible noise?" They start shouting out pronouns at us Like, "WHO brought that rhinoceros on the bus?" And "WHICH one of them's getting off first?" WHO, WHAT, and WHICH are special pronouns which can ask a question in the sense where you do not know the name of the noun. But I know I have MINE and SHE has HERS and HE has HIS THEY love US and WE love THEM YOU have YOURS What's OURS is THEIRS, that's how it is with friends. And pronouns, you are really friends, yeah! Cause saying all those nouns over and over can really wear you down |
