Original=
Well every person you can know
And every place that you can go
And anything that you can show
You know they're nouns
A noun's a special kind of word
It's any name you ever heard
I find it quite interesting
A noun's a person, place or thing
Oh, I took a train, took a train to another state
The flora and the fauna that I saw were really great
When I saw some bandits catch the train
I was wishing I was back home again
I took a train, took a train to another state
Well, every person you can know (Like a bandit or an engineer)
And every place that you can go (Like a state or a home)
And anything that you can show (Like animals and plants or a train)
You know they're nouns
You know they're nouns, oh...
Mrs. Jones is a lady on Hudson Street
She sent her dog to bark at my brother and me
We gave her dog a big fat bone
And now he barks at Mrs. Jones
She's a lady who lives on Hudson Street
Well, every person you can know (Mrs. Jones, a lady, or a brother)
And every place that you can go (Like a street or a corner)
And anything that you can show (Like a dog or a bone)
You know they're nouns
You know they're nouns, oh...
I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty
My best friend was waitin' there for me (He took an early ferry.)
We went for a walk on the island you know
And in the middle of summer, it started to snow
When I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty
Well every person you can know (Like a friend or the captain of a ship) 
And every place that you can go (An island or a sea) 
And anything that you can show (Like a statue, a ferry, or snow) 
You know they're nouns
You know they're nouns
Oh, I put a dime in the drugstore record machine
Oldie goldies started playing, if you know what I mean
I heard Chubby Checker, he was doin' the twist
And the Beatles and the Monkees, it goes like this
I put a dime in the drugstore record machine
Well every person you can know (The Beatles and the Monkees, Chubby Checker)
And every place that you can go (Like a neighborhood or a store)
And anything that you can show (Like a dime or a record machine)
You know they're nouns
A noun's a special kind of word
It's any name you ever heard
I find it quite interesting
A noun's a person, place or thing
A noun is a person, place or thing
