More Grammar Rock!
My second favorite Grammar Rock song is "Interjections!"  When I taught my first class of 9th grade English at Lee Junior High, my 5th period class loved to sing... Here's to you, Cool Cats Maritza and Sheena!

Interjections by Lynn Ahrens

When Reginald was home with flu, uh-huh
The doctor knew just what to do
He curd the infection
With one small injection
While Reginald uttered some interjections

Hey! That smarts!
Ouch! That hurts!
Yow! That?s not fair, givin? a guy a shot down there!

Interjections (Hey!)
Show excitement (Yow!)
Or emotion (Ouch!)
They?re generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point
Or by a comma when the feeling?s not as strong, hmm.

Though Geraldine played hard to get, uh-huh
Geraldo knew he?d woo her yet
He showed his affection
Despite her objections
And Geraldine hollered some interjections

Well! You?ve got some nerve!
Oh! I?ve never been so insulted in my life!
Hey!  You?re kinda cute!

Interjections (Well!)
Show Excitement (Oh!)
Or emotion (Hey!)
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 ball
He made a connection in the other direction
And the crowd starting shoutin? out interjections
Aw! You threw the wrong way!
Darn! You just lost the game!
Hurray! I?m for the other team!

Interjections (Aw!)
Show excitement (Darn!)
Or emotion (Hurray!)
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

Interjections (Hey!)
Show excitement (Hey!)
Or emotion (Hey!)
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, YEAH!

Darn!  That?s the end
