Unpack Your Adjectives

Got home from camping last spring
Saw people, places, and things
We barely had arrived
Friends asked us to describe
The people, places, and every last thing
So we unpacked our adjectives

I unpacked "frustrating" first
Reached in and found the word "worst"
Then I picked "soggy," and next I picked "foggy"
And then I was ready to tell them my tale
'Cause I'd unpacked my adjectives

Adjectives are words you use to really describe things
(That's a split infinitive)
Handy words to carry around
Days are sunny or they're rainy
Boys are dumb or else they're brainy
Adjectives can show you which way

Adjectives are often used to help us compare things
To say how thin, how fat, how short, how tall
Girls who are tall get taller
Boys who are small get smaller
'Til one is the tallest and one is the smallest of all

We hiked around without care
Then we ran into a bear
He was a hairy bear, he was a scary bear
We beat a hasty retreat from his lair
And described him with adjectives

[Spoken]
Whoa boy, that was one big ugly bear!

Next time you go on a trip
Remember this little tip
The minute you get back, they'll ask you this and that
You can describe people, places, and things
Simply unpack your adjectives
You can do it with adjectives
Tell about it with adjectives
You can shout it with adjectives
Oh, oh, oh, adjectives
Oh, oh, oh, adjectives

[Spoken]
Darn, that's the end
