PRONOUN HOEDOWN
Grab your partner he or she
I'll choose you and you choose me
We'll go left if you go right
They'll keep going all through the night
In this here hoedown we use pronouns
We'll all git around with no names down
I don't know your moniker you don't know mine
We'll stay anonymous and have a good time
You've got no partner, you're on the shelf
Just test your reflex and dance with yourself
I’ll teach you how to do-si-do
Then maybe we’ll go for a yo! ho! ho!
Well dang ma britches, mighty fine
You split your infinitive an I split mine
Up on the stand they're a' pickin and grinnin
Down on the floor them's men and they's wimmin
They said they were going out to gaze at a star
But when they came back he gave a big yeee haaa!
Up in the hay loft where the lamp light flickers*
I lost ma heart an she lost her parasol
Without proper nouns we can do no harm
What's done in the barn will stay on the farm
An exercise in the use of pronouns - 32 instances
