Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Lets get together
Join our words as one.
Choose your words for their function.
Conjunctions gonna get it done.
Yeah if youre gonna join a word or phrase
Or clause today,
May I interject hey, hey!
I say use a conjunction.
For And Nor But Or Yet So
And more oh!
CHORUS 1
Lets bring it all together.
Lets bring it, yeah!
VERSE 2
The FANBOYS are dancin
With coordination.
"Hey, hey, whats your function?" they call.
Conjunctions join us one and all.
You take the letters of F A N B O Y S, and youll see
They form an acronym for remembering
The main conjunctions.
For And Nor But Or Yet So
Coordinating Conjunctions
All together
CHORUS 2
Lets bring it all together.
Lets bring it, yeah!
BRIDGE 1
Subordinating conjunctions
Have a bit of a different function.
They introduce a dependent clause
With an after or although or as or before or because.
And if you wanna link words used the same way
Use a correlative conjunction today.
Youll use a both and an and, or an either and an or
Or a so and an as, or a neither and a nor.
So you can travel to Noun Town
Or run with the verbs
And sub a pronoun
An adverb modifies a word.
The interjections exclaim
And an adjective describes.
Introduce a preposition
Or use slang if youre sly.
CHORUS 3
Lets bring it all together.
Lets sing it all together.
Lets bring it all together.
Lets bring it, yeah.
CODA
Lets bring us all together.
Lets bring us all together.
Lets bring us all together, now.
(Repeat 3 times)
Whoa I love
The freedom
That words give me to tell you now.
