The Comma Song



The Comma Song

Sing to the tune of “Did you ever see a Lassie?”

Words by Beth Vickery ©2005

Oh you need to use a comma, a comma, a comma

Oh you need to use a comma after you write “Dear Mom,”

In a letter to your mama

You’d best use a comma!

Oh you need to use a comma after you write “Dear Mom,”

Oh you need to use a comma, a comma, a comma

Oh you need to use a comma between words in a list.

List birds, bats, and llamas

And you need some commas!

Oh you need to use a comma between words in a list.

Oh you need to use a comma, a comma, a comma

Oh you need to use a comma when you write an address.

Write to Nassau, Bahamas

You’d better use commas!

Oh you need to use a comma when you write an address.

When you’re reading past a comma, a comma, a comma

When you’re reading past a comma you take a small breath.

In bed, wear pajamas.

Read well, pause at commas!

When you’re reading past a comma you take a small breath.
