Schoolhouse Rock - Verb, That's What's Happening Lyrics
I get my thing in action Verb!
To be, to sing, to feel, to live... Verb! That's what's
happenin'!
I put my heart in action Verb!
To run, to go, to get, to give... Verb! You're what's
happenin'!
That's where I find satisfaction, yeah! Yeah!
To search, to find, to have, to hold... Verb! To be bold!
When I use my imagination Verb!
I think, I plot, I plan, I dream...
Turning in towards creation Verb!
I make, I write, I dance, I sing...
When I'm feelin' really active Verb!
I run, I ride, I swim, I fly!
Other times when life is easy Ohhh!
I rest, I sleep, I sit, I lie... Verb! That's what's
happening!
I can take a noun and bend it...
Give me a noun! Bat, ball, rake, and plow
Make it a verb and really send it! Show me how!
Ohh, I don't know my own power! Verb!
I get my thing in action... Verb!
In being... Verb!
In doing... Verb!
In saying...
Verb! That's what's
happenin'!
I can tell you when it's happenin'! Past, present, future
tense!
Tell you more about what's happenin'. Say it so it makes
some sense!
Oh! I can tell you *who* is happenin'. Verb you're so intense!
Hey, every sentence has a subject. Noun: person, place or
thing!
Find that subject, where's the action? Verb can make the subject
zing!
Take the subject, what is it? What?
What's done to it? What?
What does it say? Verb! You're what's
happenin'!
I can question like, "What is it?" Verb! You're so
demanding!
I can order like, "Go get it!" Verb! You're so
commanding!
When I hit, I need an object! Verb, hit! Hit the ball!
When I see, I see the object! Do you see that "Berlin
Wall"?
If you can see it, man, put the ball over the fence, man! Go 'head, on! Yeah, alright! What?! He hit it! It's goin'... it's goin'...it's gone! What?!
I get my thing in action! Verb! That's what's
happening!
To work... Verb!
To play... Verb!
To live... Verb!
To love!
