A Noun Is A Person, Place Or Thing Lyrics by Schoolhouse Rock
Grammar Rock
1973
[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] Oh I took a train, took a train to another state The flora and the 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] I took a ferry 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 [Chorus] Well every person you 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 they're nouns [Outro] 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
