Schoolhouse Polka is the fifteenth Silly Songs with Larry.
Larry explains about the different types of homophones.
Lyrics
The Announcer: And now it's time for "Schoolhouse Polka with Larry", the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a schoolhouse polka.
Larry: Whether, whether, whether, whether, Whether you like it or not Weather, weather, weather, weather, Weather is cold, warm and hot
Two, two, two, two
Two of my favorite toys
I’m bringing to, to, to, to
A place the first one enjoys
and I like it, too!
Larry and background singers: Homophones! Homophones!
Where the crews come cruising down the plane!
Homophones! Homophones!
I need my kneaded biscuits plain!
Larry: I know a pear, pear, pear, pear
With a pair of really soft shoes
He wears them to pare, pare, pare, pare
Bushes that easily bruise.
I planted rows, rows, rows, rows of a horribly bad smelling rose
Now no one knows, knows, knows, knows
If the scent will be leaving my nose!
But most likely no.
Larry and background singers: Homophones! Homophones!
Where the toads are towed out on the plane!
Homophones! Homophones!
I need my kneaded biscuits plain!
(German metal break)
(Larry does a guitar like riff with the accordion)
Larry: (slightly faster) Whether, whether, whether, whether,
Whether you like it or not
Weather, weather, weather, weather,
Weather is cold, warm and hot.
The Announcer: This has been "Schoolhouse Polka with Larry". Tune in next time to hear Larry sing...
Larry: What happened to my preposition?
I took it on an expedition.
Put it by the thing I keep my fish in.
Got infected with a skin condition.
The Announcer: ...And...
LARRY I’m a pronoun,
They’re a pronoun,
He’s a pronoun,
She’s a pronoun
Wouldn’t you like to be a pronoun too?
The Announcer: ...And...
Larry: It was the Biggest, bluest, cleanest, brightest
Quickest, newest, roundest, nicest
Softest, tallest, toughest, lightest
Smoothest, kindest, flattest, tightest
Most amazing adjective I’d ever seen!
The Announcer: ...And...
Larry: I’m done.
The Announcer: …Interjections? Adverbs?
Larry: …ahh, no.
The Announcer: Alrighty.
