Preamble
http://www.schoolhouserock.tv/Preamble.html
By: ​Lynn Ahrens
Hey, do you know about the U.S.A.?
Do you know about the government?
Can you tell me about the Constitution?
Hey, learn about the U.S.A.
In 1787 I'm told
Our founding fathers did agree
To write a list of principles
For keepin' people free.
The U.S.A. was just startin' out.
A whole brand-new country.
And so our people spelled it out
The things that we should be.
We the people,
In order to form a more perfect union,
Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
Provide for the common defense,
Promote the general welfare a-and
Secure the blessings of liberty
To ourselves and our posterity
Do ordain and establish this Constitution for the
United States of America.
For the United States of America...
Note: ​The lyrics here have a slightly abridged wording
of the Preamble to the United States Constitution. The
actual document starts, "We the people of the United
States, in order to form a more perfect union..."
Three is a Magic Number
http://www.schoolhouserock.tv/Three.html
By: ​Bob Dorough
One, two, three…
Three is a magic number,
Yes it is, it's a magic number.
Somewhere in the veil of ancient history,
You get three as a magic number.
The past and the present and the future.
Faith and Hope and Charity,
The heart and the brain and the body
Give you three as a magic number.
A man and a woman had a little baby,
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family,
That's a magic number.
3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30. (repeat)
Multiply backwards from three times ten:
Three time ten is 30, three times nine is 27,
Three times eight is 24, three times seven is 21,
Three times six is 18, three times five is 15,
Three times four is 12, and three times three is 9,
And three times two is 6, and three times 1...
That’s a magic number.
Interplanet Janet
http://www.schoolhouserock.tv/Interplanet.html
By: ​Lynn Ahrens
They say our solar system is centered around the sun,
Nine planets, large and small, parading by.
But somewhere out in space,
There's another shining face
That you might see some night up in the sky waving “Hi!”.
Refrain:
Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl,
A solar system Ms. from a future world,
She travels like a rocket with her comet team
And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen,
No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen.
She's been to the Sun, it's a lot of fun, ​(all) Hi!
It's a hot-spot, It's a gas!
Hydrogen
and helium
in a big, bright, glowing mass.
It's a star, it's a star! So Janet got an autograph! Uh, huh!
Mercury was near the Sun so Janet stopped by,
But the mercury on Mercury was much too high, so
Janet split for Venus but on Venus she found
She couldn't see a thing for all the clouds around.
Earth looked exciting, kind of green and inviting,
So Janet thought she'd give it a go.
But the creatures on that planet looked so very weird to
Janet,
She didn't even dare to say hello.
It's a bird, it's a plane! Why, it must be a UFO, but it was:
(Refrain)
Mars is red and Jupiter's big
And Saturn shows off its rings.
Uranus is built on a funny tilt
And Neptune is its twin,
And Pluto, little Pluto, is the farthest planet from the Sun.
(Refrain)

Interjections!
http://www.schoolhouserock.tv/Interjections.html
By: ​Lynn Ahrens
When Reginald was home with the flu, uh-huh,
The doctor knew just what to do-hoo.
She cured the infection,
With one small injection
While Reginald uttered some interjections..
Student 1: Hey! That smarts!
Student 2:Ouch! That hurts!
Student 3:Yow! That's not fair givin' a guy a shot
down there!
Refrain: ​2A, 2C, 2D; ​2E, 2F
Interjections (​Hey!​) show excitement (​Ouch!​) or
emotion (​Yow!​).
They're generally set apart from a sentence by an
exclamation point,
Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong.
So when you're happy​ (Hurray!)​ or sad​ (Aw!)
Or frightened ​(Eek!) ​or mad ​(Rats!)
Or excited (Wow!) or glad (Hey!)
An interjection starts a sentence right!
The game was tied at seven all, uh- huh,
When Franklin found he had the ba-all.
He made a connection
In the other direction,
And the crowd started shouting out interjections...
Student 4:Aw! You threw the wrong way!
Student 5:Darn! You just lost the game!
Student 6:Hurray! I'm for the other team!
Refrain:​; 2E, 2F;​ 2A, 2C, 2D
Interjections (​Aw!​) show excitement (​Darn!​) or
emotion (​H’ray!​).
They're generally set apart from a sentence by an
exclamation point,
Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong.
Interjections show excitement or emotion,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah... YEA!
Darn! That's the end!
