This is a song that uses a lot of prepositions to teach about prepositions and prepositional phrases.
Preposition Blues
© Rudolph 2009
* Bold words are prepositions.
* Underlined words makeup the prepositional phrase.
The prepositional phrase starts with a preposition.
I got the Preposition Blues
I’m stuck in a big old hole.
I got the Preposition Blues
running through my soul.
At least I’m not still stuck in the mud,
and every Saturday night I play Rock N Roll.
I got the Preposition Blues.
I sleep in a large garbage bin.
I got the Preposition Blues
I keep getting jabbed with a pin.
At least I still have my bowling ball,
and every Sunday night I play my mandolin.
I got the Preposition Blues
My canoe is stuck on a sand bar.
I got the Preposition Blues.
My finger is stuck in a jar.
At least I still have my rubber duck,
and every Monday night I strum on my favorite guitar.
I got the Preposition Blues
I’m buried deep in the sand.
I got the Preposition Blues
I got a pain in my hand.
At least I still have my lucky rabbit’s foot,
and every Tuesday night I sing with a big brass band.
I got the Preposition Blues
I got beat up by a bum.
I got the Preposition Blues.
I’m tired of this dirty slum.
At least I still have some jelly beans,
and every Wednesday night I get to beat on my drums.
I got the Preposition Blues
I got holes in my suit.
I got the Preposition Blues
Somebody stole all of my loot.
At least I still got some chewing gum,
and every Thursday night I get to toot on my flute.
I got the Preposition Blues
I lost my job on a rig.
I got the Preposition Blues
I just got bit by a pig.
At least I still have my shiny dime,
and every Friday night we play a jazzy gig.
I got the Preposition Blues
I get left with the spoiled ham
I got the Preposition Blues
I get left with all the rotten spam.
At least I have my music. I can sing and dance,
and look at all the nights that I get to jam!
Just look at all the nights that I get to jam!
Look at all the nights that I get to jam!
Look at all the nights that I get to jam!
