Oops, guess I was "too slow on the draw"

I loved the Tale of Mr. Morton. That was always my absolute favorite. Conjuction Juntion was always a close second.

I loved the Tale of Mr. Morton. That was always my absolute favorite. Conjuction Juntion was always a close second.

What was the Tale of Mr. Morton? I don't remember it.

I know this wasn't Schoolhouse Rock, but it was another of my favorites on Saturday Morning TV. When they spoofed it on Family Guy, I nearly died laughing.

 

[Liberty Belle]

I love Mr. Morton, too.

Here are the lyrics, Cool-Beans:

This is the tale of Mister Morton
Mister Morton is who?
He is the subject of our tale
and the predicate tells what Mister
Morton must do

Mister Morton walked down the street
Mister Morton walked
Mister Morton talked to his cat
Mister Morton talked
(Hello, cat. You look good.)
Mister Morton was lonely
Mister Morton was

Mister Morton is the subject of the
sentence, and what the predicate says,
he does

Mister Morton knew just one girl
Mister Morton knew
Mister Morton grew flowers for Perl
Mister Morton grew
Mister Morton was very shy
Mister Morton was

Mister Morton is the subject of the
sentence, and what the predicate says,
he does

The subject is a noun,
that's person, place or thing
It's who or what the sentence is about
And the predicate is the verb
That's the action word
that gets the subject up and out

Mister Morton wrote Pearl a poem
Mister Morton wrote
Pearl replied in the afternoon
Pearl replied by a note
Mister Morton was very nervous
Mister Morton was

Mister Morton is the subject of the
sentence, and what the predicate says,
he does!

The cat stretched,
the sun beat down,
a neighbor chased his kid.
(come here kid - come on!)
Each sentence is completed when
you know the subject did.

Mister Morton knocked on her door
Mister Morton knocked
Mister Morton sat on her porch
Yes, he just sat and rocked
when she opened up the door he ran.

Mister Morton climbed up his stairs
Mister Morton climbed
Mister Morton rhymed pretty words
Mister Morton rhymed
Mister Morton was lonely
Mister Morton was
until Pearl showed up with a single rose.
Who says women can't propose?
Now Mister Morton is happy
and Pearl and the cat are too

They're the subjects of the sentence
and what the predicate says, they do

Conjunction, Junction What's your Function is the only one I have ever heard of so I guess I'm going with that.

 

[Judy from Boise]

How could you leave off "Shot heard round the world"!

 

[Honu]

Five - Ready or Not, Here I Commmmmmme.

 

[TheGoofster]

How could you leave off "Shot heard round the world"!

I didn't. It's under "other". Unfortunatelty there are only so many spaces to list the options, and there are so many good options.

Tell you what, though. You tell me how to go back and change a poll after it's been posted, and I will be glad to go back and add "Shot heard round the World" - deal?

I don't know how many times I've messed up a poll (like not including red or silver for car colors), and not been able to fix it.

 

[Cool-Beans]

Mr. Morton is very cute!!! That must have come out after I grew out of the kiddie TV years.

 

[hidmickey:myantidrug]

Which is your all-time favorite School House Rock clip?

I vote for Conjunction, Junction What's your Function, followed closely by I'm just a Bill.

Ahh, so many good memories.

If you reverse your order, you have my top 2! I have been known to walk through halls singing 'I'm just a bill, on capital hill...'. It's a disease, I swear.

 

[Madaboutthemouse]

Definitely the Interjections song followed by Conjunction Junction, I'm Just a Bill, and the Electricity Song

 

[Tikitoi]

I voted for "I'm just a bill" for now because that was one of my fav's. But I got the dvd for my daughter for Christmas so my opinion may change in the next few weeks.

 

[Melwood23]

I also voted for Conjunction, but I also loved I am a bill, and Interjections...there are a few more..
I believe they came out on DVD and maybe even a CD...will have to look into it..
I can see me in the car now, in the summer, with windows down...singing

"Conjunction, Junction, Wha'ts my Function"

 

[princesspumpkin]

Verb (I do my thing in action, Verb! - that's what's happening!)

A close second is - Sufferage (and we were suffering until sufferage!)

 

[dementia412]

I like the one for 8 ... it's a circle that comes round upon itself.... but number three and Lolly lolly were great too... I used to sing lolly lolly all the time, and nobody seemed to know where I got it.

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

you didn't, by any chance, watch Supernatural the other night, did you? lol

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Other...

Love the Preamble to the Constitution.
