PRONOUN SONG

(Sung to the “When the Saints Go Marching In”)

I, me, my, mine

You, your, and yours

She, he, it, him, her, his, its, hers

Are the singular personal pronouns,

Which take the place of regular nouns.

We, us, our, ours

You, your, and yours

They, them, their, and theirs are plural.

They are the plural personal pronouns,

Which take the place of regular nouns!

Sometimes they’re subjects;

Sometimes they’re objects;

Sometimes they are possessive;

But they always take the place of

The regular nouns in your grammar.

Against Idleness and Mischief

How doth the little busy Bee

Improve each shining Hour,

And gather Honey all the day

From every opening Flower!

How skilfully she builds her Cell!

How neat she spreads the Wax!

And labours hard to store it well

8With the sweet Food she makes.

In Works of Labour or of Skill

I would be busy too:

For Satan finds some Mischief still

For idle Hands to do.

In Books, or Work, or healthful Play

Let my first Years be past,

That I may give for every Day

Some good Account at last.
