Nicht wegen den Hintergrundgeräuschen wundern, hab es von JamLegend aufgenommen.
Lyrics:
Chorus
Whats the deal with these dots and dashes?
Well, lets slow it down like cold molasses.
Youve got colons, parentheses, commas, apostrophes;
punctuation, it can help you a lot, you see?
Verse I
Whether youre writing for school or just to correspond
you need punctuation, or else your sentence goes on, and on,
and on, and on, and on, and never stops
so we can help you use punctuation in the right spots.
A period occurs at the end of a sentence,
and if youre using initials, periods must be present.
For instance: I went to the store.
I bought some milk, some O. J., and nothing more.
A question mark goes right after—guess what—a question.
Do you know what that means? (Yeah, thats the lesson.)
An exclamation point shows surprise, pain, or anger:
Ow! I just pinched my finger!
An apostrophe replaces the letters that get denied
in a contraction, thats when you get two words combined.
Apostrophes also show possession: That isnt Marys pen.
There are two apostrophes in that expression.
Chorus
Verse II
Think of a comma like you think of a pause,
when a conjunction connects an independent clause.
A commas like a breath expressed in written form:
I like the sound of thunder, so I love thunderstorms.
Lets say you got a list, maybe 3 or more things.
You better use that comma and place it in between, like:
My favorite colors are red, green, and blue.
You know theres gonna be drama if that comma is never used.
Use a comma in a sentence with a contrasting phrase:
Im awake, Im just a little bit dazed.
You can also use a comma to set off some dialogue, like,
The princess said, I liked you better as a frog!
Chorus
Verse III
If youve got conjunctive adverbs, like therefore or however,
or youve got two separate sentences you want to join together,
a semi-colons gonna become your mediator:
I gotta get home; Ill see you later.
A colon is used in a few situations:
before a list, an example, or sometimes a quotation.
And speaking of quotations, dont forget quotation marks,
and add a capital letter for any word at the start.
