Lyrics:

Well every person you can know
And every place that you can go
And any thing that you can show
You know they're nouns
A noun's a special kind of word
It's any name you ever heard
I find it quite interesting
A noun's a person, place or thing

Oh I took a train, took a train
To another state
The flora and the fauna that I saw were really great
But when I saw some bandits chasing the train
I was wishing I was back home again
I took a train, took a train
To another state

Well every person you can know
(Like a bandit or an engineer)
And every place that you can go
(Like a state or a home)
And any thing that you can show
(Like animals, plants or a train)
You know they're nouns
You know they're nouns, oh!

Mrs. Jones is a lady on Hudson Street
She sent her dog to bark at my brother and me
We gave her dog a big fat bone
And now he barks at Mrs. Jones
She's a lady who lives on Hudson Street

Well every person you can know
(Mrs. Jones, a lady or a brother)
And every place that you can go
(Like a street or a corner)
And anything that you can show
(Like a dog or a bone)
Well, you know they're nouns
You know they're nouns, oh!

I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty
My best friend was waiting there for me
(He took an early ferry)
We went for a walk on the island you know
And in the middle of summer it started to snow when...
I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty

Well every person you can know
(Like a friend or a captain of the ship)
And every place that you can go
(An island or a sea)
And anything that you can show
(Like a statue, a ferry or snow)
Well, you know they're nouns
You know they're nouns, oh!

I put a dime in the drugstore record machine
Oldie-goldies started playing - you know what I mean
I heard Chubby Checker, he was doing the twist
And The Beatles and The Monkees
It goes like this (Yeah!)
I put a dime in the drugstore record machine

Well every person you can know
(The Beatles and the Monkees, Chubby Checker)
And every place that you can go
(Like a neighborhood or a stone)
And anything that you can show
(Like a dime or a record machine)
Well, you know they're nouns

A noun's a special kind of word
It's any name you ever heard
I find it quite interesting
A noun's a person, place or thing
A noun is a person, place or thing
