40 Prepositions Song

Keep 40 of the most commonly used prepositions in mind, as I've done since 1976, when Theresa Murphy taught them to her students at John H. West Elementary School in Plainedge, LI, to the tune of "Three Blind Mice."  Thanks to Teacher Jo and her music students at Virginia Beach Friends School for this new-generation rendition! (Find the "lyrics" below the video.)
About, above, across
After, against, along
Among, around, at, before
Behind, below, beneath, beside
Between, beyond, by, down
During, except

For, from, in
Into, of, off
On, over, past, through
'Til, to, toward, under
Until, up, upon, with
Within, without
