Schoolhouse Rock – Interjections! lyrics

When Reginald was home with flu, uh huh
The doctor knew just what to do:
He cured the infection
With one small injection
While Reginald uttered some interjections:

Ouch! That hurts!
Yow! That’s not fair, giving a guy a shot down there!

Interjections
Show excitement
Or emotion
They’re generally set apart from a sentence
By an exclamation point
Or by a comma when the feeling’s not as strong
Mmmm . . .

Though Geraldine played hard to get, uh huh
Geraldo knew he’d woo her yet
He showed his affection
Despite her objections
And Geraldine hollered some interjections:

Oh! I’ve never been so insulted in all my life!
Hey! You’re kinda cute!

Interjections
Show excitement
Or emotion
They’re generally set apart from a sentence
By an exclamation point
Or by a comma when the feeling’s not as strong

So when you’re happy
Or sad
Or frightened
Or mad
Or excited
Or glad
An interjection starts a sentence right!

The game was tied at seven all, uh huh
When Franklin found he had the ball
He made a connection
In the other direction
And the crowd starting shouting out interjections:

Interjections
Show excitement
Or emotion
They’re generally set apart from a sentence
By an exclamation point
Or by a comma when the feeling’s not as strong

So when you’re happy
Or sad
Or frightened
Or mad
Or excited
Or glad
An interjection starts a sentence right!

Interjections
Show excitement
Or emotion
They’re generally set apart from a sentence
By an exclamation point
or by a comma when the feeling’s not as strong

Interjections!
Show excitement!
Or emotion!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah . . . yeah!!
