A Noun Is a Person, Place Or Thing

A Noun Is a Person, Place Or Thing was a song from Schoolhouse Rock.

Lyrics
Well every person you can know, And every place that you can go, And anything that you can show, You know they're nouns.

A noun's a special kind of word, It's any name you ever heard, I find it quite interesting, A noun's a person, place, or thing.

Oh I took a train, took a train to another state. The flora and the fauna that I saw were really great. When I saw some bandits chasin' the train. I was wishin' I was back home again. I took a train, took a train to another state.

Well, every person you can know (Like a bandit or an engineer) And every place that you can go (Like a state or a home) And anything that you can show (Like animals and plants or a train) You know they're nouns - you know they're nouns, oh...

Mrs. Jones is a lady on Hudson Street. She sent her dog to bark at my brother and me. We gave her dog a big fat bone, And now he barks at Mrs. Jones. She's a lady who lives on Hudson Street.

Well, every person you can know (Mrs. Jones, a lady, or a brother) And every place that you can go (Like a street or a corner) And anything that you can show (Like a dog or a bone) You know they're nouns - you know they're nouns, oh...

I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty. My best friend was waitin' there for me. (He took an early ferry.) We went for a walk on the island you know, And in the middle of summer it started to snow, When I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty.

Well every person you can know (Like a friend or the captain of a ship) And every place that you can go (An island or a sea) And anything that you can show (Like a statue, a ferry, or snow) You know they're nouns - you know they're nouns.

Oh, I put a dime in the drugstore record machine. Oldies goldies started playing if you know what I mean. I heard Chubby Checker, he was doin' the twist And the Beatles and the Monkees, it goes like this! I put a dime in the drugstore record machine.

Well every person you can know (The Beatles and the Monkees, Chubby Checker) And every place that you can go (Like a neighborhood or a store) And anything that you can show (Like a dime or a record machine) You know they're nouns.

A noun's a special kind of word, It's any name you ever heard, I find it quite interesting, A noun's a person, place, or thing.

A noun is a person, place or thing. (doodle, doodleh; doodle doodleh...)
