The Pronouns Song with Different Pronouns by Sunday Comes Afterwards Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So you have a friend named Lori
And her pronoun is “she”
And she’s asked you out for coffee
Or perhaps a cup of tea
And you want to get it right
You don’t need a chaperone
So you practice her new pronouns
Loud and clear, when you’re alone
[Chorus 1]
This is my friend, her name is Lori
She herself is a friend of mine
I’m so glad to be a friend of hers
Both she and I are fine
[Verse 2]
So you have a friend named Max
And eir pronoun is “ey”
(Christine Elverson of Skokie
Coined thosе pronouns, by the way)
And you want to get it right
When you shout, or you intonе
So you practice eir new pronouns
Loud and clear, when you’re alone
[Chorus 2]
This is my friend, eir name is Max
Ey emself is a friend of mine
I’m so glad to be a friend of eirs
Both ey and I are fine
[Bridge]
You don’t want to hurt your friends
Or imply that they’re pretenders
Be sure to use the pronouns that
Reflect their proper genders
Habits may die hard
But that’s not a dispensation
To make some brand-new habits
All it takes is acclimation
[Verse 3]
So you have a friend, Mackenzie
And xir pronoun is “xie”
(It’s a lot of fun to say this
’Cause it buzzes like a bee!)
And you want to get it right
Your concern’s not overblown
So you practice xir new pronouns
Loud and clear when you’re alone
[Chorus 3]
This is my friend, xir name’s Mackenzie
Xie xirself is a friend of mine
I’m so glad to be a friend of xirs
Both xie and I are fine
[Outro]
All you need is practice
And you'll get it in the end
And surely that is worth it
If you want to be a friend
So you have a friend named Lori
And her pronoun is “she”
And she’s asked you out for coffee
Or perhaps a cup of tea
And you want to get it right
You don’t need a chaperone
So you practice her new pronouns
Loud and clear, when you’re alone
[Chorus 1]
This is my friend, her name is Lori
She herself is a friend of mine
I’m so glad to be a friend of hers
Both she and I are fine
