Word Crimes - Weird Al Yankovic
Everybody shut up WOO

Everyone listen up

Hey hey hey uh

Hey hey hey

If you can't write in the proper way

If you don't know how to conjugate

Maybe you flunked that class
And maybe now you find

That people mock you online

Okay now here's the deal
I'll try to educate ya
Gonna familiarize

You with the nomenclature

You'll learn the definitions

Of nouns and prepositions

Literacy's your mission

And that's why I think it's a
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
Say you got an "I" "T"
Followed by apostrophe "s"
Now what does that mean
You would not use
"it's" in this case
As a possessive

It's a contraction

What's a contraction
Well it's the shortening of a word
Or a group of words
By the omission of a sound or letter
Okay now here's some notes

Syntax you're always mangling
No "x" in "espresso"
Your participle's danglin'
But I don't want your drama
If you really wanna

Leave out that Oxford comma

Just keep in mind
That "be" "see" "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

One thing I ask of you
Time to learn your homophones
Is past due
Learn to diagram a sentence too
Always say "to whom"
Don't ever say "to who"
And listen up when I tell you this
I hope you never use quotation
Marks for emphasis
You finished second grade
I hope you can tell
If you're doing good or doing well
About better figure out the difference

Irony is not coincidence
And I thought that you'd gotten it
Through your skull
What's figurative and what's literal
Oh but just now you said
You literally couldn't get out of bed
That really makes me want to literally
Smack a crowbar upside
Your stupid head
I read your 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

Never mind I give up

Really now I give up

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Go Away
