Conjunction Junction Songtext
von Bob Dorough

′M'kay kids, this requires a certain amount of audience participation
And looking you over, I think you can handle it
This part is very easy, it goes like this

Conjunction Junction, what′s your function?

Let's try that
A one, a two, three, and sing that song

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?
Pretty good
One more time, kids
A one, a two, three, and sing that

Conjunction Junction, what′s your function?

They got it, they got it, okay
When I raise my finger, okay
Dave will help you out
Big band intro, okay
A one, two, three


Conjunction Junction, what′s your function?
Hooking up words and phrases and clauses
Conjunction Junction, what's your function?
I′ve got three favorite cars that get most of my job done
Conjunction Junction, what's your function?
I′ve got and, but, and or
That will get you pretty far

Dig this
"And"
That's an additive, like this and that
And then there′s "but"
When you say "Mommy, I won't do this
But I will do that"
And then there's Or. O-R
This or that, a choice
And, but, and or will get you pretty far!

Now sing the song

Conjunction Junction, what′s your function?
Hooking up two boxcars and making ′em run right
Bread and butter, milk and honey, peas and rice
(Hey that's nice)
Dirty but happy, digging and scratchin′
Losing your shoe and a button or two
He was poor but honest, sad but true
Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
