Verse:
Ebdim7         Gm
An adverb is a word
                                        Gdim7
(That's all it is! and there's a lot of them)
                Fm
That modifies a verb

(Sometimes a verb and sometimes)
Ab             Eb                   Abmaj7
It modifies an adjective, or else another adverb
           Dm7                       G7sus4      G7
And so you see that it's positively, very, very, necessary

Chorus:

Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, get your adverbs here

So come to...

Bb7                 G7sus4

Eb
Hello, folks, this is Lolly, Sr.,
Bb

Eb

Fm                                 Bb
Hello folks, Lolly, it's Lolly Jr. here.
   Eb
Suppose your house needs painting.
Fm                         Bb
How are you going to paint it?
                 Eb
That's where the adverb comes in.
Fm          Bb                   Eb
We can also give you a special intensifier
                    Fm          Bb             Eb
so you can paint it very neatly or rather sloppily
    Fm                       Bb
Hi! Suppose you're going nut gathering
Eb                       Fm
Your buddy wants to know where and when.
Bb            G
Use an adverb and tell him!  (Get your adverbs!)

Verse:
C                            G
Use it with an adjective, it says much more
Bb                          F
Anything described can be described some more
Ab                          Eb
Anything you'd ever need is in the store
           G           Fadd9                G7sus2
And so you choose very carefully every word you use

Verse:
C                               G
Use it with a verb, it tells us how you did
Bb                                     F
Where it happened, where you're going, where you've been
Ab                          Eb
Use it with another adverb, that's the end
         Adim7
And even more...

Ebdim7         Gm
How, where, or when
Gdim7           Fm
Condition or reason
Ab                     Eb

You're going need 'em if you read 'em

* Spoken over chorus
If it's an adverb, we have it at Lolly's! Bring along your old adjectives,
too - like slow, soft, and sure. We'll fit 'em out with our L-Y attachment
and make perfectly good adverbs out of them!
