Original=
Got home from camping last spring
Saw people, places and things
We barely had arrived,
Friends asked us to describe
The people, places and every last thing
So we unpacked our adjectives
I unpacked "frustrating" first
Reached in and found the word "worst"
Then I picked "soggy" and
Next I picked "foggy" and
Then I was ready to tell them my tale
'Cause I'd unpacked my adjectives
Adjectives are words you use to really describe things,
Handy words to carry around
Days are sunny or they're rainy
Boys are dumb or else they're brainy
Adjectives can show you which way
Adjectives are often used to help us compare things,
To say how thin, how fat, how short, how tall
Girls who are tall can get taller,
Boys who are small can get smaller,
Till one is the tallest
And the other's the smallest of all
We hiked along without care
Then we ran into a bear
He was a hairy bear,
He was a scary bear,
We beat a hasty retreat from his lair
And described him with adjectives
Spoken:
Whoah! Boy! That was one big, ugly bear!
You can even make adjectives out of the other parts of speech, like verbs or nouns.
All you have to do is tack on an ending like "-ic" or "-ish" or "-ary".
For example, this boy can grow up to be a huge man – but still have a boyish face. 
"Boy" is a noun, but the ending "-ish" makes it an adjective - boyish.
That describes the huge man's face, get it?
Next time you go on a trip,
Remember this little tip:
The minute you get back,
They'll ask you this and that,
You can describe people, places and things...
Simply unpack your adjectives
You can do it with adjectives
Tell them 'bout it with adjectives
You can shout it with adjectives...

Saw people, places and things

So we unpacked our adjectives
I unpacked "frustrating" first
Reached in and found the word "worst"
This frog picked "soggy" and
Fozzie picked "foggy" and
Then I was ready to tell them my tale

*Bob Dorough does the voice of the turtle.
*Voted #14 of the top 25 favorite Schoolhouse Rock! songs.
*This song was one of the first songs that George Newall contributed to the Schoolhouse Rock series.
*According to the book Schoolhouse Rock!: The Official Guide, a full demo version of the song was recorded by Bob Dorough; however, for the final version of the song, it was decided to have this song recorded with Blossom Dearie. With that said, this implied that the camper who serves as the protagonist of the song was originally going to be a boy, but was turned into a girl in the final version of the song (on a related note, Newall became astonished that Dearie actually recorded something he wrote)Schoolhouse Rock!: The Official Guide (Page 39).
