Conjunction junction Lyrics

Conjunction junction, what's your function?
Hookin' up words and phrases and clauses.
Conjunction junction, how's that function?
I got three favorite cars
That get most of my job done.
Conjunction junction what's their function?
I got and, but n' or, they get you pretty far.

(And, that's an additive, like this AND that.
But - well, that's sort of the opposite.
Not this, BUT that. And then there's or, O-R.
When you got a choice like this or that.
AND, BUT, and OR, they get you pretty far!)

Conjunction junction, what's your function?
Hookin' up two box cars and making 'em run right.
Milk and honey, bread and butter, peas and rice,

Dirty but happy, diggin' and scratchin',
Losin' your shoe and a button or two.
He was poor but honest, sad but true,
Boo hoo, hoo hoo, hoo!

Hookin' up two cars to one.
When you got something like this choice:

Eat this or that, grow thin or fat.
I bet you now I'm too skinny as it is!

Out of the fryin' pan and into the fire.

Let's go up to the mountains,
Or down to the seas.
You should always say thank you,
Or at least say please.
Conjunction junction, what's your function?
Hookin' up words and phrases and clauses
In complex sentences like:

(In the morning, when I'm usually wide awake,
I love to take a walk through the gardens and down by the lake.
Where I often encounter a duck and a drake,
And I ask myself as I walk by
Just what they'd say if they could speak,
Although I know that that's an absurd thought.)
