Lyrics
With so much drama in the 4, 5, 6
I’ll droppa comma in a sentence like a ton of bricks
There’s alotta instances when I gotta use one
BLAZER FRESH is here to eliminate the comma blues son.
I use a comma, i use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use one!
I USE A COMMA to separate three or more words in a list.
I’m maxin, relaxin’, and cool. You get the gist?
I USE A COMMA after introductory words, such as yes and well:
Yes, I am wearing cologne. How can you tell?
I USE A COMMA to separate adjectives, 2 or more
I’ll droppa comma in a sentence like a ton of bricks
There’s alotta instances when I gotta use one
Blazer Fresh is here to eliminate the comma blues son.
Arnstar is a charming, fun fellow on the dance floor.
I USE A COMMA before a conjunction to join independent clauses.
I like enormous words, and I like pauses.
With so much drama in the 4, 5, 6
I use a comma, i use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I would use a comma
I USE A COMMA on either side of an appositive.
Xavier, the optimist, is always so positive.
I USE A COMMA when I address someone, it helps us understand:
Excuse me, Rasheem, when you raise the roof, put up your hands!
I USE A COMMA between the name of a city and its state:
San Francisco, California, has’s got this bridge—- the Golden Gate!
I USE A COMMA when I quote:
She said, “I only hike up mountains with my mountain goat.”
I USE A COMMA when I write the date between the day and year:
January 1, 1735. Happy birthday, PAUL REVERE!
With so much drama in the 4, 5, 6
I’ll droppa comma in a sentence like a TON OF BRICKS
There’s alotta instances when I gotta use one
Blazer Fresh is here to eliminate the comma blues son.
I use a comma, i use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma…
Hold the applause! You can also use a comma after a dependent clause!
Ohhhhh
When I watch movies, I like to eat seaweed.
When I make smoothies, I put in tons of flax seeds.
While you were out, all I thought about was commas.
When spring break comes, I wanna go to the Bahamas!
With so much drama in the 4, 5, 6
I’ll droppa comma in a sentence like a TON OF BRICKS
There’s alotta instances when I gotta use one
Blazer Fresh is here to eliminate the comma blues son.
I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma, I use a comma…
