Director: Lights, Camera, Action Verb! Action Verb: I arrive at the scene of a burning building. Alas, on the third story is a Noun, and he says... Noun: I can't do anything! Action Verb: Yes you can! -- I entreat him Noun: I can what? Action Verb: You can... jump to safety! (Splat.) Oops. On second thought, maybe you should try to run down the stairs... Yes! But no matter what you do When there's a fire... Then you must stop drop And roll... CHORUS 1 No matter what you do You must take action! So be an Action Hero Woman, man! Yes, you must strive for Quick retraction of inaction Yes, they're big words Ah, but I'm sure you understand You must be Taking action, making action All of the time Always have adventure in mind Yes! I'm taking action, making action All of the time Whatever you seek, you shall find 'Cause you're an Action Verb! Yes, an Action Verb! It may sound absurd But you're an Action Verb! So you can see, hear, dance, sing, meow, swoon, love, cry... Sometimes it exhausts me. Director: CUT! That's a wrap. Everybody take five. SCENE 2: Action Verb: Oh, excuse me. Wrong dressing room. Linking Verb: No worries, man. You're here, come in, just be... Action Verb: Who are you? I don't mean to intrude... Linking Verb: Dude, I'm a Linking Verb. Be like me. Express a state of being, man. Action Verb: I am... confused. Linking Verb: Exactly, man! You = confused. When you hear a verb you can replace with an equals sign...That's me, man. I'm all about equality, man. Action Verb: I love equality! ALL: I = happy Linking Verb: I'm happy man, 'cause the sky is blue ALL: The sky = blue Action Verb: Then let's go and see it! Linking Verb: Why the hurry? The Noun is safe Action Verb: But I = action Linking Verb: If that's your satisfaction, man, go do your thing. ALL: Goodbye! We can link up later. SCENE 3: Pronoun: Aaaaah! HELP!! Action Verb: Oh my! A damsel in distress! Director: Lights, Camera, Action Verb! Action Verb: I arrive at the foot of a massive tree. Hanging from the end of the tallest branch is a Pronoun. And She says... Pronoun: I can't do anything! Action Verb: Yes, you can, M'lady! Pronoun: But I'm scared! Action Verb: Never fear! I am here! And you are... Beautiful, Pronoun. Pronoun: Oh, save me, Action Verb! Before I go SPLAT under this tree... Action Verb: I will rescue you. Pronoun: Set me free. Action Verb: Then leap to me. Pronoun: (Sigh) Wheee! Action Verb: Frankly, my dear... CHORUS 2 No matter what you do You must take action! So be an Action Hero Woman, man! Yes, you must strive for Quick retraction of inaction Yes, they're big words Ah, but I'm sure you understand You must be Taking action, making action All of the time Always have adventure in mind Yes! I'm taking action, making action All of the time Whatever you seek, you shall find 'Cause you're an Action Verb! Yes, an Action Verb! It may sound absurd But you're an Action Verb! So you can see, hear, dance, sing, meow, swoon, love, cry... KISS?!? Pronoun: Kiss me, Action Verb! Both: (Kissing sound)
