Comma Song
to the tune of “My Bonnie” from Chalkboard Songs by Suzy Red
(For added fun, stand or sit whenever you sing the word, "comma.")

A comma goes with a name
If that’s who you’re talking to.
A comma with quotation marks
Will sure keep you out of the stew.

Before TOO at the end of a sentence,
After "yes" and "no" when they come first,
A comma with Dear Bob, and Your Friend,
Will save you from what is the worst.

Appositives need some commas,
Dates with the year do, too.
Between city and state some commas,
Will make a good student of you!

Commas before conjunctions
Can join two sentences, too,
When dependent clauses come first,
A comma will work well for you!

Chorus:
Commas, Commas
A listing needs commas,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Commas! Commas!
Oh, PAUSE for a comma today!
