Unpack Your Adjectives - Blossom Dearie[00:00:00]
Got home from camping last spring[00:00:09]
Saw people places and things[00:00:13]
We barely had arrived[00:00:18]
Friends asked us to describe[00:00:20]
The people places and every last thing[00:00:22]
So we unpacked our adjectives[00:00:27]
I unpacked frustrating first[00:00:33]
Reached in and found the word worst[00:00:38]
Then I picked soggy and[00:00:42]
Next I picked foggy and[00:00:44]
Then I was ready to tell them my tale[00:00:46]
'Cause I'd unpacked my adjectives[00:00:52]
Adjectives are words you use to really describe things[00:00:57]
Handy words to carry around[00:01:01]
Days are sunny or they're rainy[00:01:05]
Boys are dumb or else they're brainy[00:01:07]
Adjectives can show you which way[00:01:10]
Adjectives are often used to help us compare things[00:01:14]
To say how thin how fat how short how tall[00:01:18]
Girls who are tall can get taller[00:01:22]
Boys who are small can get smaller[00:01:24]
Till one is the tallest[00:01:26]
And the other's the smallest of all[00:01:27]
We hiked along without care[00:01:31]
Then we ran into a bear[00:01:35]
He was a hairy bear[00:01:39]
He was a scary bear[00:01:41]
We beat a hasty retreat from his lair[00:01:43]
And described him with adjectives[00:01:49]
Woah[00:01:52]
Boy that was one big ugly bear[00:01:53]
You can make even adjectives out of the other parts[00:01:58]
Of speech like verbs and nouns[00:02:01]
All you have to do is tack on an ending[00:02:03]
Like -ic or -ish or -ary[00:02:06]
For example[00:02:08]
This boy can grow up to be a huge man[00:02:09]
But still have a boyish face[00:02:12]
Boy is a noun but the ending -ish[00:02:15]
Makes it an adjective boyish[00:02:17]
That describes the huge man's face[00:02:19]
Get it[00:02:22]
Next time you go on a trip[00:02:24]
Remember this little tip[00:02:29]
The minute you get back[00:02:33]
They'll ask you this and that[00:02:35]
You can describe people places and things[00:02:37]
Simply unpack your adjectives[00:02:42]
You can do it with adjectives[00:02:46]
Tell them 'bout it with adjectives[00:02:50]
You can shout it with adjectives[00:02:55]
