The Language Police (Joe Crone)

Em G AWell how do you do, I’m the language police. (Language Police)Em G AI’m here to tell ya, I’m looking for a gang of thieves. (Gang of thieves)Em G AThere’s four of them, let me describe them to you. (Describe them to you)Em ASo if they come this way, you’ll know just what to do.

CHORUS: A Well I’m the Language Police. (I’m the Language Police). Em G AAnd I’m looking for a gang of thieves (Gang of bad thieves). B AEvery noun, adverb, adjective and verb (Knows who)EmKnows who I am, I give you my word.

Em G AThe first one of this gang of whom I’m gonna sing, (Gonna sing)Em G AIs called a noun, that’s a person, place or thing. (Person, place or thing)Em G AThe next one of these guys goes by the name of verb. (Name of verb)Em AI’m sure you know that he’s the action word.


Em G AThe next one on my list of whom I will describe, (Will describe)Em G AIs the adverb, and it’s the verb he modifies. (Modifies)Em G AHe tells us more about that action word. (Action word)Em AHe’s very creative and he spices up the verb.CHORUS:

A Well I’m the Language Police. (I’m the Language Police). Em G AAnd I’m looking for a gang of thieves (Gang of bad thieves). B AEvery noun, adverb, adjective and verb (Knows who)EmKnows who I am, I give you my word.

Em G AThe last one of this gang is smart and kind of wise. (Kind of wise)Em G AIt’s the adjective and it’s the noun he modifies. (Modifies)Em G AHe adds detail, that little adjective. (Adjective)Em ASize, colour, quality, are things he likes to give.


(Through megaphone)Em G AWell I suppose you’re wondering just what this gang has done. Em G AThey stole the dot from the “i” and now it looks like a one.Em G AWell I know, it’s trivial to you,Em ABut change an “i” to a “1” and you won’t know what to do.

CHORUS:

A Well I’m the Language Police. (I’m the Language Police). Em G AAnd I’m looking for a gang of thieves (Gang of bad thieves). B AEvery noun, adverb, adjective and verb (Knows who)EmKnows who I am, I give you my word.

(Through megaphone):Gtr. Vamp: Em G AAttention! This is the Language Police! You are completely surrounded! Come out with the dot! I repeat, come out with the dot! Noun, verb, adjective, adverb, we know you’re in there. There is no chance of escape. You are to come out with the dot! I repeat, come out with the dot now!

Fraction Rock (Joe Crone) E D AThe teacher walks in, you’re sitting in your place. E D AThere’s a menacing look growing on his face. E D AHe grabs a piece of chalk and he gives you the look. E He says, “Everybody now, take out your math books.” A GYour stomach’s in knots as he demands action. A BYou’ve got to demonstrate equivalent fractions.

CHORUS: E B7You got to be like a rabbit and multiply!E B7Be like a rabbit and multiply!

E D AYou walk up to the board, your hands are sweating. E D ADon’t know it you can do it, you start fretting. E D AThere’s a fraction on the board right in front of you. EThe fraction is a half (1/2). What ‘cha gonna do? A GThere’s a little voice calling from deep inside your brain.A BListen really close, this is what it’s saying.

CHORUS: E B7You got to be like a rabbit and multiply!E B7Be like a rabbit and multiply!

E D AMultiply the top, it’s called the numerator.E D AMultiply the bottom, the denominator. E D AIf you use the same digit, you’ll see the numbers change. EBut the fraction that’s a half will still remain the same. A GA half is two-quarters (2/4), A half is three-sixths (3/6) A BA half is four-eighths (4/8), Feel confusion fade? A GA half is five-tenths (5/10), A half is ten-twentieths (10/20) A BA half is fifty-hundredths (50/100), Isn’t that amazing?

CHORUS: E B7You got to be like a rabbit and multiply!E B7Be like a rabbit and multiply! E D AThe lesson has been learned, you just multiply. E D AIf you want the numbers smaller, go ahead divide. E D AIf you use the same digit for the bottom and the top, EYou’ll keep on getting smaller, ‘til you’ve got to stop.A GTen over twenty (10/20) is equal to a half. A BAlthough the numbers change, the value stays the same.A GSix over twelve’s (6/12) just another way to name it, A B‘Cause a half is a half, no matter how you say it.

CHORUS: E B7You got to be like an amoeba and divide!E B7Be like an amoeba and divide!

GUITAR SOLO E D AThe teacher walks in, your sitting in your place. E D AThere’s a smile of pride, building on your face. E D AHe grabs a piece of chalk and he tosses it to you. E You walk up to the board, you know what to do. A GYou’re feeling really good as you spring into action. A BYou get to demonstrate equivalent fractions.

CHORUS: E B7You got to be like a rabbit and multiply!E B7Be like a rabbit and multiply!E B7Be like a rabbit and multiply!E B7Be like a rabbit and multiply!EBe like a rabbit, Be like a rabbit, Be like a rabbit, yeah!

The Beat Goes On (Joe Crone) EmYou’re a tired little blood cell and you’re feeling blue. GNo nutrients or oxygen inside of you. AYou’ve just come back from the body and your work is done. EmThe first place you go is called the Right Atrium.

A EmYou look around and see it’s just a waiting room. A B7Other blood cells pile in until no one can move. A EmThe trap door opens up and you fall down below. A B7You’re in the part of the heart that’s known as the Right Ventricle

CHORUS: Em A7And the Beat Goes On. (The Beat Goes On). Em A7And the Beat Goes On. (The Beat Goes On).

EmThere’s a mighty squeeze, a mighty push, your trip begins. GTo the lungs and the Pulmonary Artery for oxygen. AIt branches off into arteries and capillaries.EmThey take you to the Alveoli, your destiny.

A EmYou say, “Bye-Bye” to your load of good old carbon dioxide.A B7The O2 bonds with you and you start feeling fine. A E7You’re hanging on to the Hemoglobin and off you go. A B7To the Pulmonary Vein and the Heart with your precious load.

CHORUS:

Em A7And the Beat Goes On. (The Beat Goes On). Em A7And the Beat Goes On. (The Beat Goes On). Em A7And the Beat Goes On. Em A7Yeah the beat goes on. (The Beat Goes On).

EmYou pile into the Left Atrium. (Yeah) GWith all the other red blood cells rich in oxygen. (Uh-huh) AThe valve opens up into the Left Ventricle. (Yeah) EmWith one mighty squeeze you leave, it’s off you go.

A EmYou flow into the Aorta, a huge artery. A B7This super highway branches off into Capillaries. A E7You find the living cells and give them oxygen. A B7You pick up carbon dioxide and start all over again.

CHORUS: Em A7And the Beat Goes On. (The Beat Goes On). Em A7And the Beat Goes On. (The Beat Goes On). Em A7And the Beat Goes On. Em A7Yeah the beat goes on. (The Beat Goes On).(Repeat

Digestion Blues (Joe Crone)

E7Digestion starts in the mouth, A7Where the food’s chewed up before it heads South. B7The salivary glands make it all wet, E7And it’s there that the food starts to digest.

CHORUS:G DChew it up and swallow those itty-bitty pieces,E7 Take out all the good stuff, in the end it turns to feces.G DChurn it up and swallow it, turn it into goo.E7 B7Now you get to sing those digestion blues.

E7 The esophagus squeezes the food on down, A7And into the stomach, that’s where it’s found. B7The gastric juices break down the food, E7And the stomach muscles churn it up, so it can be used.


E7The pancreas and liver add insulin and bile. A7It’s in the duodenum for just a little while. B7This gooey, gooey muck is now called chyme, E7It’s nutrients are taken in the small intestine.

CHORUS:G DChew it up and swallow those itty-bitty pieces, E7 Take out all the good stuff, in the end it turns to feces.G DChurn it up and swallow it, turn it into goo.E7 B7Now you get to sing those digestion blues.

E7It’s in the large intestine where the water’s taken out, A7The chyme’s compacted nicely, of this there is no doubt. B7It passes through the rectum, the anus is at the end, E7The sphincter muscle contracts, your bowel movement begins.


(Repeat Chorus)

C FDo you wanna come and hang out with us triangles? C Em F G CWe’ll create our own little world at Geometry Park!” (Geometry Park!)

C G Dm7 FThe first girl angle, hooo, she’s looking pretty square. (Pretty square, yeah yeah, uh-huh) C G Dm7 FShe’s 90 degrees and right all the time, it isn’t fair. (Isn’t fair, no no, uh-uh) C FBut the smaller one is looking pretty Acute. C FAnd the bigger one is looking mighty Obtuse. C Em F G CAnd they’ve got a couple hours to go before it gets dark. (Before it gets dark)

Am EmClouds on the horizon.Em AmThe polygon gang is here.Am EmThey are many-sided objects.EmThe angles quake with fear.

C G Dm7 FHe glances at the basketball court and sees that it’s clear. C FHe says, “Hey boys, lets go settle this. C FA game of hoops can put all this to rest.” C Em F G CAnd they start to play B-ball at Geometry Park. (Geometry Park!)

C G Dm7 FHalf way through the game, Isosceles says, “You guys are great!”C G Dm7 FHexagon says, “So are you, but it’s getting kind of late.”C F C Let’s meet here tomorrow and we can resume our game. F I feel like we are friends.

C Em F G CShouts of laughter coming from Geometry Park.C Em F G CShouts of laughter coming from Geometry Park.C Em F G CShouts of laughter coming from Geometry Park.

Capitals are a Strange Thing (Joe Crone)

D Em7 Capitals, I don’t know why you use a capital, “I”. Em7 A7You use them on the first word of a quote, a monument, a ship or a boat. Em7 DYou use them when you make a title, on the first and important words, that’s vital.

CHORUS:Em7Hum along if you can’t sing, DUh-huh, Capitals are a strange thing. DUh-huh, Capitals are a strange thing.

DCapitals are used in many ways, Em7On historical events and holidays, Em7Nationalities, religions and races, A7You use them on geographical places, Em7On, “North, East, West and South”, DWhen they’re used as places, well shut my mouth.

CHORUS:Em7Hum along if you can’t sing, DUh-huh, Capitals are a strange thing. DUh-huh, Capitals are a strange thing. Yeah!D Em A D Em A D Em A Em AMmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm, Oh!

DThe first word of a sentence is capitalized, Em7Listen up ‘cause I’m not telling lies. (I’m not telling lies)Em7Days, months and all the world’s nations,A7Businesses, schools and organizations.Em7Initials, and the brand names of products, DAnd only on certain cool school subjects.

CHORUS:

Em7Hum along if you can’t sing, DUh-huh, Capitals are a strange thing. DUh-huh, Capitals are a strange thing. Yeah! (Yeah, Oooo)

DCapitals are used on everyone’s name, Em7And on the title, in front of that name. Em7On Mother, Father and all the rest, A7When they’re used as names, now here’s the best Em7Capitals are used on the names of God, DNow you know the rules and you’re out of the fog.

CHORUS:Em7Hum along if you can’t sing, DUh-huh, Capitals are a strange thing. DUh-huh, Capitals are a strange thing.(Repeat and fade)

Water and Land (Joe Crone) C F GThe world is made up of water and land. C F GThese places have names so you’ll understand C F GJust where in the world we’re talking about. Dm7 GGet a map and a pointer, now you get to shout,

C Em7 F G “Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Arctic! C Em7 F GAtlantic, Pacific, Indian and Arctic!”C F GThese are the names of the bodies of waterC That we call the oceans,F GNow you’re getting smarter.

C F GThe land is divided into continents,Dm7 GSome are in the East, but these are in the West:C F G C F GNorth America! C F G C F GSouth America!

The Province Rap (Joe Crone and Darryl Lahteenmaa)

We will go from coast to coast, You’ll see this country is the most.The capital cities in every part, You soon will know them off by heart.

Now I’m gonna need your participation,As we start on the West side of this great nation.These are the names that you gotta know,So pay attention now cause here we go!

Chillin’ in the mountains and the sceneryIs Victoria, the capital of B.C.And next to that, we got Alberta’s soilWith it’s capital, Edmonton, pumpin’ the oil.

Movin’ on East things are totally wack!‘Cause the next two provinces are totally flat!In Saskatchewan, you’ll find nothin’ finerThan the wheat and the grain and the city Regina.

Now I’m not tryin’ to pull your leg, But in the middle of the country is Winnipeg.Manitoba is where this city lies,And if you listen hard enough, you hear the buffalo cry.

Now next on the map is Ontario.And there’s a couple things here, so we better go slow.The first thing is the capital city,Toronto – it’s not itty-bitty.It’s got a lot of people and the buildings are tall,You dial 416 when you’re makin’ a call.The second thing here is not the CN Tower,It’s the capital city with political power.Ottawa is the place of choice,It’s where the Prime Minister will hear your voice.It’s the capital of Canada and plain to see,That Canada is the home of the free.

Break!

Now moving right along on this little tour,In Quebec when you see someone you say, “bonjour”.It’s the Francophone section of this little dittyThe capital here is Quebec city.

Next on the map are the Maritimes.They’re the East coast provinces of this rhyme.There’s four in total so lets put into motion,The provinces touching the Atlantic ocean.

ONE!New Brunswick is where we begin,With it’s capital city of Fredericton.

TWO!So wax the tracks and turn it up to the max,For Nova Scotia’s capital, Halifax.

THREE!PEI’s the smallest province around,With the capital city of Charlottetown.

FOUR!Newfoundland is the furthest East,And St. Johns is the place with the fisheries.Fresh!

Now next are some places that will make your freeze.They’re North on the map called Territories.There’s three of them that we gotta know up there.And don’t forget to bring your long underwear.

The Yukon’s capital? Oh yeah, of course, The capital city is called Whitehorse.And the Northwest Territories city life,Can be found in a place called Yellowknife.And the new Northland called Nunavuk,Has a capital city named Iqualuit.

Now we have gone from coast to coast,You’ve seen this nation is the most.So clap your hands and rap with me,The capital cities of this country!

Gonna Get Frantic (Darryl Lahteenmaa)

Guitar Vamp on: /Cm / F7 /

CHORUSNew England and Mid Atlantic,We gonna get silly, and we’re gonna get frantic.Mid Atlantic and New England,We gonna bust the capitals to a record spin.

(Repeat Chorus)

Let's start in a place that we call New England,A few states are located in this region.The Northeast side of the United States,Is where this rap is gonna infiltrate.

The first State that we’re gonna learn today,Is the Eastern most State in the USA.Maine’s where you go if you want some lobster,The capital here is called Augusta.

And next to that, is New Hampshire,Or the Granite State: if you’d prefer.Now get on the mic and hit record,We gonna rock the capital city of Concord.

The Green Mountain State is called Vermont,The capital Montpelier is what I want.Now it would be a big mistake,If you didn’t put their maple syrup on pancakes.

Now if you want old school, let me suggest, Princeton or Harvard in Massachusetts.With schools so big that you can get lost in,By the way the capital is called Boston.

Independence and ConnecticutThe first to be free, let’s not forget.That’s why it's called the Constitution StateHartford’s the capital – there’s no debate.The smallest one? Let me think; just wait.I know its known as the Ocean State.The capital is Providence, oh now we stylin’The smallest State is called Rhode Island.


My rhyme is large and my rhyme is gigantic.My rhyme is gonna talk about the Mid AtlanticThere’s five States here that you gotta know,So pay attention now cause here we go!

New York’s where you want to beIf you wanna go make the big money.The Empire State is the one for meAlong with the capital, Albany.

And next is the State of New Jersey.It’s got the highest population density.There’s something that I’d like to mention, The capital city here is called Trenton.

Now, Pennsylvania is doin’ well.Is the State where they keep the Liberty Bell.It’s a place where they make lot of steel,Harrisburg’s the capital, keepin’ it real!

The State that we cannot compare, Is the Diamond State of Delaware.My 'Hommies' all call it the small wonderThe capital city is called Dover

The last State of this rap is MarylandThe city of Annapolis is within.So get into a boat and catch some windCuz we’re gonna cast off and go sailing.
