Word Crimes (Karaoke Version) - Singer's Edge Karaoke

Good time

To learn some grammar

Now did I stammer

Work on that grammar

You should know when

It's less or it's fewer

Like people who were

Never raised in a sewer

I hate these word crimes

Like I could care less

That means you do care

At least a little

Don't be a moron

You'd better slow down

And use the right pronoun

Show the world you're no clown

Everybody wise up

You would not use it's in this case

As a possessive

Well it's a group of words

By the omission of a sound or letter

Are you

Are words not letters

Get it together

Use your spellchecker

You should never

Write words using numbers

Unless you're seven

Or your name is Prince

I hate these word crimes

You really need a

Full time proofreader

You dumb mouth-breather

Well you should hire

Some cunning linguist

To help you distinguish

What is proper English

Everybody wise up

Everybody wise up

Just now

You said

Everybody wise up

E-mail

It's quite apparent

Your grammar's errant

You're incoherent

Saw your blog post

It's really fantastic

That was sarcastic Oh psych

'Cause you write like a spastic

I hate these Word Crimes

Your prose is dopey

Think you should only

Write in emoji

Oh you're a lost cause

Go back to pre-school

Get out of the gene pool

Try your best to not drool

Go Away
