Lyrics:
Know your prepositions if you proposition me
I need a guy that understands I before E
In the next sentence please show me what the error be
I need a homeboy with a large vocabulary
I don't say ter I say tour, I don't say I don't say yer I say your
I call it an Hors d'œuvre, it's not a horse devur
It's specific, not pacific, that makes the bitches clamour
I can't stand a mutha f***er with improper grammar
If you wanna roll with me in my bad ass crew
You need to know when the word to deserves a double u
sometimes you gotta double up the o it's true
Use the proper usage, or you just won't do
I don't say warsh, I say wash
I don't say gorsh, I say gosh
And I love the spell check feature of my macintosh
It's the function of conjunction, makes my heartbeat start to stammer
I can't stand a motha f***a with improper grammar
Spell check yourself before you wreck yourself
Spell check yourself before you wreck yourself
Spell check yourself before you wreck yourself
Spell check yourself before you wreck yourself
Have the courtesy and pedigree to use an apostrophe
The attitude and aptitude to cite your reference, don't be rude
You use spell check to show respect for the human dialect
So hyphenate and don't be late, or your face I will punctuate!
Thanks everyone for all of your support! For those of you living in the New York area, I will be headlining at Carolines on Broadway on April 13th at 7:30pm. Make your reservations now!
