Interjections
| 
Oct 29 16:02 UTC 2003 |
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!]

hallelujah! hallelujah! Hall-e-e-lu-u-l-ya, YEA!
Darn! That's the end.

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.

cover versions.)

I'm an amendment to be
Yes an amendment to be
And I'm hoping that they ratify me
There's a lot of flag-burners
Who have got too much freedom
I wanna make it legal for policemen to beat 'em
'Cause there's limits to our liberties
At least I hope and pray that there are
'Cause those liberal freaks go too farrrr... o/~
