When Reginald was home with flu The doctor knew just what to do He cured the infection With one small injection While Reginald uttered some interjections HEY! That Smarts! OUCH! That hurts! YOW! That's not fair, giving a guy a shot down there! Interjections (Hey!) show excitement (YOW!) or emotion (OUCH!) They're generally set apart from a sentence By an exclamation point Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong Though Geraldine played hard to get Geraldo knew he'd woo her yet He showed his affection Despite her objections And Geraldine hollered some interjections Well! You've got some nerve! OH! I've never been so insulted in all my life! HEY! You're kinda cute! Interjections (WELL!) show excitement (OH!) or emotion (Hey!) They're generally set apart from a sentence By an exclamation point Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong So when you're happy: HURRAY! Or sad: Aw! Or Frightened: Eeeek! Or mad: RATS! Or excited: WOW! Or glad: Hey! [I can ride a bike!] An interjection starts a sentence right! The game was tied at seven-all When Franklin found he had the ball He made a connection In the other direction And the crowd started shouting out interjections AW! You threw the wrong way! DARN! You just lost the game! HURRAY! I'm for the other team! Interjections (AW!) show excitement (DARN!) or emotion (HURRAY!) They're generally set apart from a sentence By an exclamation point Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong So when you're happy: HURRAY! Or sad: Aw! Or Frightened: Eeeek! Or mad: RATS! Or excited: WOW! Or glad: Hey! [I can ride a bike!] An interjection starts a sentence right! Interjections (Hey!) show excitement (Hey!) or emotion (Hey!) they're generally set apart from a sentence By an exclamation point Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong Interjections! Show excitement! Or Emotion! hallelujah! hallelujah! Hall-e-e-lu-u-l-ya, YEA! Darn! That's the end.18 responses total.
Wow!!! I could sing the whole thing!!
I like!
Possibly some of the most effective educational television ever..
I don't know the tune.
It's from "Schoolhouse Rock". I have friends who like to come to DC, sit on the Capitol steps and sing, "I'm Just A Bill".
(I'd think the Capitol Steps would object to being sat upon.)
Re #4: The line "Interjections show excitement or emotion" is always sung to the tune of a line from the Hallelujah Chorus (part of the Messiah). The rest I think is original.
Re 6 The Capitol Steps would mind - the steps do not. ;-)
The Simpsons did a great parody of the "I'm Just a Bill" one, once.
Haha. One time, I took the train to visit Jeanne in Newport News and I had a layover in Washington so I went over and sat on the steps at the Capitol building and sang "I'm just a Bill" It was GREAT! I also remember a teacher giving a test in highschool where we had to write out the preamble to the constitution. There was a little humming going on. I have to agree with mcnally. Schoolhouse Rock probably was the most effective educational programing ever.
With just the lyrics and not the tune in my head, I didn't realize it was Schoolhouse Rock! Jep, your son would probably really enjoy these. You can get them on VHS and DVD.
He probably would, and it sounds like a pretty good Christmas present. I am not at all sure he has any idea there's anything of that sort in existence.
(the Schoolhouse Rock themes also were released on CD in original and cover versions.)
