VERSE 1: MODIFYING VERBS & ADVERBS

Huddle up Verbs! -- Do what I say!
Here's why we practice -- Every day!
You're gonna run, you're gonna jump, defend and score.
But I'll describe how you do it more

You're gonna run rapidly -- rapidly!
You're gonna jump high -- high in the sky!
You will defend tenaciously -- tenaciously!
And you will score triumphantly -- Ready, set, fly!

Huddle up Adverbs! Do what I say!
Here's why we practice -- Every day!
To run rapidly and jump high isn't enough.
I'm here to tell you as an adverb just how much!

You're gonna run astoundingly rapidly -- yeah!
You're gonna jump ridiculously high -- all right!
You will defend astoundingly tenaciously -- Hooa!
And score incredibly triumphantly -- go, win, fight!

But I'm here to say how much -- we're ready!
