Unpack Your Adjectives
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
Adjectives are words you use to really describe things
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

[Verse 4]
Adjectives are often used to help us compare things
To say how thin, how fat, how short, how tall
Girls who are tall can get taller
Boys who are small can get smaller
Till one is the tallest
And the other's the smallest of all
[Verse 5]
We hiked along without care
Then we ran into a bear
He was a scary bear
He was a hairy bear
We beat a hasty retreat from his lair
And described him with adjectives

[Bridge]
That was one big, ugly bear!

You can even make adjectives out of the other parts of speech. All you have to do is tack on an ending like "-ic" or "-ish" or "-ary". For example, this girl can grow up to be a beautiful woman - but still have a girlish face. "Girl" is a noun, but the ending "-ish" makes it an adjective - girlish. That describes the beautiful woman's face, get it?

[Outro]
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 them 'bout it with adjectives
You can shout it with adjectives
