WELCOME TO GRAMMAROPOLIS
music by Doctor Noize
words by Doctor Noize & The Mayor Of Grammaropolis
from Grammaropolis
Doctor Noize
This is not that song!
Doctor Noize & Gramma
So please don’t sing along!
Doctor Noize
Hey!
Action Verbs are great words
Always making sure they’re heard
They animate the eyes on your face
And when they’re feeling transitive
They hang out with the nouns as is
And energize a person or place
Linking Verbs are sidekicks
Giving Action Verbs tips
Usually a form of “to be”
She said that I’m a mellow yellow Cinderello
Not to say I’m jello
Nothing’s really bothering me
Well here’s a Noun that I’ve found on this grammar ground
Wrapped around a person, place or a thing
He likes to follow the Verb or Adjective word
Don’t mess around with the Nouns, ’cause they name everything
Oh, now everybuddy sing…
Welcome to Grammaropolis
It’s such a tough metropolis
I think I am the awfulest
At Grammaropolis! Hey!
Oh grammar! Good grammar!
Oh grammar! Good grammar!
Oh grammar! Good grammar!
Grammaropolis!
Adjective
I’m lovely, I’m bubbly, I’m kind and cuddly
I modify a Pronoun or Noun
What kind? Which one? How many? How much?
An Adjective is very profound
Adverb
How, when, where, to what extent, under what condition
Will you tolerate the tone of an Adverb?
Adjectives and Verbs and other Adverbs say I’m bossy
But an Adverb isn’t really a bad word
Preposition
They call me Preposition ‘cause I’m pre-positioned
To populate the start of a phrase
I got the map and the compass and I’ll kick your verbal rumpus
Into super high gear, lead you everyplace
Doctor Noize
Hey, I say…
Welcome to Grammaropolis
It’s such a tough metropolis
I think I am the awfulest
At Grammaropolis! Hey!
Oh grammar! Good grammar!
Oh grammar! Good grammar!
Oh grammar! Good grammar!
Grammaropolis!
Gramma
Thank you for writing a song about me, Dear!
Doctor Noize
Gramma, it’s not Grammaopolis…
Gramma
Oh?
Doctor Noize
It’s Grammaropolis!
Gramma
Oh!
Doctor Noize
If it were Grammaopolis, it would sound like this…
| Band | Gramma | Doctor Noize |
| Oh! Oh! | Grammaopolis | They’re floating grammas… |
| Oh! Oh! | Grammaopolis | They’re floating grammas… |
| Oh! Oh! | Grammaopolis | And they’re lovely as can be |
| Thank you, Dear! | ||
| Oh! Oh! | Grammaopolis | They’re floating grammas… |
| Oh! Oh! | Grammaopolis | They’re floating grammas… |
| Oh! Oh! | Grammaopolis |
Doctor Noize & Gramma
But this is not that song
So please don’t sing along!
Doctor Noize
Pronouns confound, throw the Nouns in the Lost & Found
They take their place, they’re hangin’ around
An antecedent gives ‘em freedom, so you’ll know ‘em when you read ‘em
Otherwise there’s chaos in town
Pronoun
We’ll do it for half what Nouns normally charge…
Doctor Noize
Who’s normal? What’s normal?
Who’s normal? How normal?
Conjunction
Gather ‘round, join in, when we’re together we all win
A little middle riddle am I
Conjunctions are a junction with a function, no compunction or dysfunction
Joining words and word groups, oh my!
Doctor Noize
And when it’s “Hey!” “Say!” “Wow!” Pow!” — do not have a cow
Interjections are emotional birds!
And Mr. Slang rang words absurd, don’t tell Mom you used that word
Slang is when a poopee becomes a tur—
Gramma
—Don’t say that!
Doctor Noize
Sorry…
Gramma
I’ll pretend I never heard.
Doctor Noize
Thank you, Gramma!
