Lyrics:

(Spanish)
Oh yeah, get your verbs ready it's about to go down.
Everybody in the place grab your spanish book
and turn to page ventiséis. (Y'all that's twenty-six.)
We're teachin' this, let's go.

I'm on a Boat (I'm on a Boat)
A Spanish Boat (A Spanish Boat)
Everybody look at me 'cause I'm sailing on a boat (Sailin' on a boat)
I'm on a Boat (I'm on a Boat)
A Spanish Boat
Take a good hard look at informal commands (yeah)

I'm on a boat conjugatin' with these "-ar"s yeah,
Straight droppin' off these endings in the deep blue sea.
Conjugate it now, put the "tú" form on.
Drop the "s" off the end and start singin' along.

That's affirmative, next is negative.
It's pretty easy now, just some different steps.
You take the ending, and make it flippie-floppie.
We'll explain it, just a second, need to make some copies.

You take the ending, and get rid of it,
you make it "yo" form, and drop the "o" off the end,
and if it's "-ar", just add a simple "-es".
"e" and "i-r" - little different, add "-as" to the end.

I'm on a boat and I'm conjugating,
I got a libro about Informal Commands.
I'm the king of Spanish, and I'm conjugatin'.
If you ain't got verbs then don't be hatin'.

Now listen up, time for review!

"-ar" - make it "tú" and drop the "s".
"-er" - make it "tú" and drop the "s".
"-ir" - make it "tú" and drop the "s".
Opposite endings for negative commands.

No te preocupes.
Escríbelo. Toma apuntes.
Abre tu libro, y lee.
Este es Español!

Yeah, I hate those irregular verbs.
God they make my head hurt.
Señor Bus, please help me!
Hacer to Haz, Ir to Ve,
Salir to Sal, and Ser to Sé.
Poner goes to Pon,
Venir to Ven.*

I'm on a Boat,
A Spanish Boat.
Everybody look at me 'cause I'm sailing on a boat.
I'm on a Boat,
A Spanish Boat.
Take a good hard look at informal commands.

Spanish - Yeeaahhh.

*It is important to note, if you are studying Spanish, that two more irregular verbs are not mentioned in this song. Tener becomes "ten", and Decir becomes "di". These irregular verbs are only irregular as an affirmative informal command.
