Interjections Lyrics
Schoolhouse Rock
Lyrics
When Reginald was home with flu, (uh huh)
The doctor knew just what to do:
He cured the infection,
With one small injection,
While Reginald uttered some interjections:
Ouch! That hurts!
Yow! That's not fair, giving a guy a shot down there!>
Interjections
Show excitement,
Or emotion.
They're generally set apart from a sentence
By an exclamation point,
Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong. Mmmm...
Though Geraldine played hard to get, (uh huh)
Geraldo knew he'd woo her yet.
He showed his affection,
Despite her objections,
And Geraldine hollered some interjections:
Oh! I've never been so insulted in all my life!
Hey! You're kinda cute!>
Interjections
Show excitement,
Or emotion.
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
Or sad
Or frightened
Or mad
Or excited
Or glad
An interjection starts a sentence right!
The game was tied at seven all, (uh huh)
When Franklin found he had the ball.
He made a connection,
In the other direction,
And the crowd starting shouting out interjections:
Interjections
Show excitement,
Or emotion.
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
Or sad
Or frightened
Or mad
Or excited
Or glad
An interjection starts a sentence right!
Interjections
Show excitement,
Or emotion.
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!
Hallelujah... yeah!!
