about

She, He, They (A Pronoun Song)” is a bouncy, bluesy little tune explaining the different pronouns while slyly affirming diversity of gender expression. Geared towards children (but also adults!) this song is regularly performed by Carrie’s band, The Grumpytime Club Band, at festivals, libraries, and community events. With its friendly, accessible tone, “She, He, They (A Pronoun Song)” cheerfully reminds us that gender diversity is a normal and natural aspect of humanity.

lyrics

She, he, they, what pronouns do you use?
It’s up to you, the words that you choose
No one else can decide, how you feel inside
She, he, they, what pronouns do you use?

My mother likes to use the pronouns “she” and “her”
So that’s what I say when I need to refer
To her riding her bike, playing the cello
Practicing flute, or painting the kitchen yellow

My brother feels great with the pronouns him and he
Whatever works for him, well it sure works for me
He makes up goofy songs and dances with his daughter
Plays jazz on his trumpet and goest swimming in the water

She, he, they, what pronouns do you use?
It’s up to you, the words that you choose
No one else can decide, how you feel inside
She, he, they, what pronouns do you use?

My friend Axis goes by them and they
They make things out of wood and go running every day
Their favorite food is sushi and they love the color red
On rainy days they like to watch movies in their bed

Now some people prefer to just use their name
Instead of a pronoun, it works mostly the same
Like Benny is here, playing the kazoo
Come on Benny let’s see what you can do

You can’t tell someone’s pronouns just by looking at them
It’s kind of an impossible task
What do you do when you’re not sure?
All you gotta do is ask. Just ask.

She, he, they, what pronouns do you use?
It’s up to you, the words that you choose
No one else can decide, how you feel inside
She, he, they, what pronouns do you use?

She, he, they, what pronouns do you use?
It’s up to you, the words that you choose
No one else can decide, how you feel inside
She, he, they, what pronouns do you use?

about

Carrie Ferguson Northampton, Massachusetts

Carrie grew up playing an enormous upright, chocolate-brown piano. It had a darkly booming, slightly furry quality to it, like the weather in her hometown of Arcata on the North Coast of California. Ferguson credits its sonorous voice, combined with the perpetual fog and clamminess as instilling in her the baseline aesthetic of melancholic optimism that permeates her words and music today. ... more
