It's so bright and lively! The only seasons I love as much are Summer, Fall, and Winter. Life is so wonderful being an adjective. Look at those nouns having a picnic. Let's describe them. Verse 1 Tina's kind Reggie's sweet Cake's delish! Skunks are ODIFEROUS! Nancy's DIVINE Nelson's NEAT Trees are TALL I am SMALL But VOCIFEROUS! If her dress is quite UGLY, but you know she tries Use the art of the adjective to get you by Say: "Your dress is so... INTERESTING." Woman Thanks! Adjective She replies -- You're so WISE! Woman What a guy! Chorus 1 The adjective will fill my palette plenty Which one? What kind? How much? DESCRIBE how many! The words you think The thoughts you say Should never let your day go gray The world of words will help you paint the way Verse 2 But it isn't just nouns There are pronouns I've found Who need adjectives They take the place of a noun And then they come around Where the magic lives Like that flower! It's gorgeous. Your Grandma! She's wise. Hey Skunk! You are putrid And make stinky skies! Yes Pronouns live like Nouns But... in disguise! So let's MODIFY and DESCRIBE! Chorus 2 The adjective will fill my palette plenty Which one? What kind? How much? DESCRIBE how many! The words you think The thoughts you say Should never let your day go gray The world of words will help you paint the way Bridge (Chorus with fa la la's & speaking) Adjectives can be demonstrative - that car, those diamonds They can be possessive - my sandwich, her smile They can be comparative - yellower than a lemon, even taller than a baby Or superlative - the yellowest lemon, the tallest non-baby You can use all of those to describe things. A BLUE sky, the BLUER sky, the BLUEST sky, THAT sky, MY sky! Oh, my my! Verse 3 Now the articles Or baby adjectives They are my little ones Articles Dada! Mama! Adjective They're so CUTE. They are A, THE and AN Aren't they cute? They say -- Articles -- WAAA! Adjectives Well, they're... sometimes... fun Article (Throws up) BLAAH! Adjective That is GROSS. They're AN itch Or THE sky Or A blackberry pie Or THE Craziest, Singingest, WORDIEST guy! Yes, an adjective raises your thoughts oh so high! So let's play in a HIGHER key, fly and DESCRIBE Chorus 3 The adjective will fill my palette plenty Which one? What kind? How much? DESCRIBE how many! The words you think The thoughts you say Should never let your day go gray The world of words will help you paint the way Ah, GET OUT YOUR BRUSHES, PEOPLE! Without me, love, your world is... DULL and GRAY. What a lovely song!
