《Unpack Your Adjectives》歌词

[00:00:00] Unpack Your Adjectives - Blossom Dearie (布洛森·迪儿莉)

[00:00:09] Got home from camping last spring

[00:00:13] Saw people places and things

[00:00:18] We barely had arrived

[00:00:20] Friends asked us to describe

[00:00:22] The people places and every last thing

[00:00:27] So we unpacked our adjectives

[00:00:33] I unpacked frustrating first

[00:00:38] Reached in and found the word worst

[00:00:42] Then I picked soggy and

[00:00:44] Next I picked foggy and

[00:00:46] Then I was ready to tell them my tale

[00:00:52] 'Cause I'd unpacked my adjectives

[00:00:57] Adjectives are words you use to really describe things

[00:01:01] Handy words to carry around

[00:01:05] Days are sunny or they're rainy

[00:01:07] Boys are dumb or else they're brainy

[00:01:10] Adjectives can show you which way

[00:01:14] Adjectives are often used to help us compare things

[00:01:18] To say how thin how fat how short how tall

[00:01:22] Girls who are tall can get taller

[00:01:24] Boys who are small can get smaller

[00:01:26] Till one is the tallest

[00:01:27] And the other's the smallest of all

[00:01:31] We hiked along without care

[00:01:35] Then we ran into a bear

[00:01:39] He was a hairy bear

[00:01:41] He was a scary bear

[00:01:43] We beat a hasty retreat from his lair

[00:01:49] And described him with adjectives

[00:01:52] Woah

[00:01:53] Boy that was one big ugly bear

[00:01:58] You can make even adjectives out of the other parts

[00:02:01] Of speech like verbs and nouns

[00:02:03] All you have to do is tack on an ending

[00:02:06] Like -ic or -ish or -ary

[00:02:08] For example

[00:02:09] This boy can grow up to be a huge man

[00:02:12] But still have a boyish face

[00:02:15] Boy is a noun but the ending -ish

[00:02:17] Makes it an adjective boyish

[00:02:19] That describes the huge man's face

[00:02:22] Get it

[00:02:24] Next time you go on a trip

[00:02:29] Remember this little tip

[00:02:33] The minute you get back

[00:02:35] They'll ask you this and that

[00:02:37] You can describe people places and things

[00:02:42] Simply unpack your adjectives

[00:02:46] You can do it with adjectives

[00:02:50] Tell them 'bout it with adjectives

[00:02:55] You can shout it with adjectives
