Schoolhouse Rock - Rufus xavier sarsparilla

^ENow, I have a friend named Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla And I could say that ^BRufus found a kangaroo

And ^Anow that kangaroo belongs To ^ERufus Xavier Sarsaparilla Whew! I could say that, but I don't ^Bhave to

^AI can say, ^E"HE found a kangaroo that followed HIM home and now IT is HIS" [Chorus]

You see, (uh) ^BHE, HIM, and HIS are ^Apronouns Replacing the noun ^ERufus Xavier Sarsaparilla ^EA very ^Aproper ^Enoun ^BAnd IT is a pronoun, ^Areplacing the noun, ^Ekangaroo! (How common!)

^ENow Rufus has a sister named Rafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla If ^Bshe found a kangaroo I'd say to you: ^E"SHE found a kangaroo that followed HER home, and now it is HERS." But I can't say ^Bthat...

N.C.

'Cause she found an aardvark That ^Afell in love with HER and THEY're so ^Ehappy

And ^Emy name's Albert Andreas Armadillo (No relation to the Sarsaparillas.) Because of ^Bpronouns, I can say: ^A"I wish SHE would find a rhin^Eoceros for ME, and WE'd be ^Bhappy."

You see, a ^Bpronoun was made to take the ^Aplace of a noun 'Cause ^Esaying all those nouns over and over Can ^Ereally ^Bwear you ^Edown!

^ENow I could tell you Rafaella Gabriela and Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and ^BAlbert Andreas Armadillo found an ^Aaardvark, a kangaroo, and a ^Erhinoceros. And now that ^Baardvark and that kangaroo and that ^Arhinoceros belong respectively to ^ERafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla and Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and ^BAlbert Andreas Armadillo! Whew! Because of pronouns I can ^Asay, in this way: ^E"WE found THEM and THEY found US, and now THEY are OURS and WE're so ^Bhappy." Thank you pronoun!

You see a ^Bpronoun was made to take the ^Aplace of a noun 'Cause ^Esaying all those nouns over and over Can ^Ereally ^Awear you ^Edown

^FSometimes, when we take 'em all on the bus ^FPeople really raise a fuss

^Bb"WHO brought that rhinoceros on this bus?" and ^F"WHAT made that horrible noise?" and ^C"WHICH one of them is getting off first?"

^CWHO, WHAT, and WHICH are special ^Bbpronouns that can ask a question ^FIn a sentence where you do not know the ^Cname of the noun

^BbI have MINE, and SHE has HERS And ^Fhe has his. Do YOU have YOURS? THEY ^Clove US, and WE love THEM WHAT's ^BbOURS is THEIRS-- That's how it is with ^Ffriends And ^Cpronouns, you are really ^Bbfriends, yeah!

^F'Cause saying all those nouns over and over Can really wear you down
