Sing to “Obsessed” by Mariah Carey

So oh oh oh ohSo oh oh oh ohSo oh oh oh ohSo oh oh oh ohSo oh oh oh ohSo oh oh oh ohSo oh oh oh ohSo oh oh oh ohWhen you’ve got wordsDifferent nouns
And you need to know whose they are
Apostrophes go
With an s
We’ll learn the rules for
Different sets
Singular nouns
Apostrophe s
It’s always the same, except for with names
With those you choose what you want to do
You got it now? You got it now? OhI know what possessive means (boy, I want to know)It’s so easy can’t you see (when everybody knows)
It’s not too hard to learn just threeRules to make your friends impressed
Use ‘em right each time—you’ll have success
Show ownership or relationship
Keep it straight in your mind
It’s confusing you what you’ve got to do
But it’s easy you will find
Plural nouns that end in s
Simply add apostrophe after the S

Oh oh oh…

Oh, oh, oh….


Plural nouns
That don’t end in s
Add the apostrophe
Before the S

That’s all there is
No complications
Only three rules
No hesitation

Always abusin’ ‘em
Tell mom and pop
Tell corporationsHave a press conferenceHave a conversationI know what possessive means (boy, I want to know)It’s so easy can’t you see (when everybody knows)
