Lolly Lolly Lolly, get your adverbs here
Lolly Lolly Lolly, got some adverbs here
Come on down to Lolly's, get the adverbs here
You're going to need
If you write or read,
Or even think about it
Lolly Lolly Lolly, get your adverbs here
Got a lot of Lolly, jolly adverbs here
Anything you need And we can make it absolutely clear
An adverb is a word
(That's all it is, and there's a lot of them)
That modifies a verb,
(Sometimes a verb! and Sometimes)
It modifies an adjective,
Or else another adverb
And so you see that it's positively, very, very, necessary
Lolly Lolly Lolly, get your adverbs here! Father, son and
Lolly selling adverbs here! Got a lot of adverbs and we make
it clear, So come to Lolly!(Lolly! Lolly! Lolly!)
Hello, folks This is Lolly Senior, saying we have every

Hello, folks Lolly Junior here Suppose your house needs
painting How are you going to paint it? That's where the
adverb comes in We can also give you a special intensifier
so you can paint it very neatly or rather sloppily
Hi Suppose you're going nut-gathering Your buddy wants
to know where and when Use an adverb and tell him
Get your adverbs!
Use it with an adjective, it says much more,
Anything described can be described some more
Anything you'd ever need is in the store,
And so you choose very carefully
Every word you use
Use it with a verb it tells us how you did
Where it happened, where you're going, where you've been
Use it with another adverb at the end,
and even more
How, where, or when,
condition or reason,
These questions are answered
When you use an adverb
Come and get it!
Lolly Lolly Lolly, get your adverbs here
Quickly quickly quickly, get those adverbs here
Slowly surely really, learn your adverbs here
You're going need 'em,
If you read 'em,
If you write or talk or think about 'emLolly!

We'll fit 'em out with our "l-y" attachment,
And make perfectly good adverbs out of them!
