[03:22.00]Performed：Bob Dorough and Jack Sheldon
[03:22.00]Like a butterfly
[03:22.00]or like a bee,
[03:22.00]Like an ant
[03:22.00]as busy as can be,
[03:22.00]these little words
[03:22.00]we call the busy P's.
[03:22.00](Prepositions)
[03:22.00]Nine or ten of them do most all of the work.
[03:22.00](of, on, to, with, in, from, by, far, at over, across)
[03:22.00]and many others do their job,
[03:22.00]which is simply to connect
[03:22.00]their noun or pronoun object
[03:22.00]to some other word in the sentence.
[03:22.00]Busy P's...
[03:22.00]If you please.
[03:22.00]On the top is where you are.
[03:22.00](top relates to where)
[03:22.00]With a friend you'll travel far.
[03:22.00](with a friend you'll go)
[03:22.00]If you try you know that you can fly.
[03:22.00]Over the rainbow.
[03:22.00](over the rainbow is where you can fly)
[03:22.00]Busy prepositions.
[03:22.00]Always on the go.
[03:22.00]Like a bunch of busy bees,
[03:22.00]Floating pollen on the breese.
[03:22.00]Buzzing over the medows,
[03:22.00]beyond the forrest, through the trees,
[03:22.00]into the beehive.
[03:22.00]Busy, busy P's.
[03:22.00](in, to, beyond, over, on, through)
[03:22.00]Busy prepositions.
[03:22.00]Always out in front.
[03:22.00]On the edges, in the cracks.
[03:22.00]'round the corner 'round the back.
[03:22.00]In between the action,
[03:22.00]stating clearly to your satisfaction,
[03:22.00]the location and direction.
[03:22.00]Prepositions give specific information.
[03:22.00]Though little words they are
[03:22.00]they never stand alone.
[03:22.00]Gathering words behind them
[03:22.00]you soon will see
[03:22.00]how they have grown into the parade.
[03:22.00]A prepositional phrase.
[03:22.00]With a noun or at least a pronoun
[03:22.00]bringing up the rear.
[03:22.00]A little phrase of two or
[03:22.00]three or four or more words.
[03:22.00](Prepositions! Attention! Foreward march!)
[03:22.00]Busy Prepositions.
[03:22.00]Always on the march.
[03:22.00]Like a hoarde of soldier ants,
[03:22.00]inching bravely foreward on the slimest chance
[03:22.00]that they might better their positions.
[03:22.00]Busy, busy prepositions.
[03:22.00]In the air. On the ground. Everywhere.
[03:22.00]The sun sank lower in the west, In the west it sank. And
[03:22.00]it will rise in the morning, and will bring the light of day.
[03:22.00]Each day the sun comes up in the east,
[03:22.00]everydayyyyyyy. In the east it rises. Busy Prepositions.
[03:22.00]Busy, busy, busy. On the top is where you are. On the
[03:22.00]top. If you will try you know that you can fly. Fly where?
[03:22.00]Over the rainbow.
