The Lonely Island pen an ode to semicolons, which is actually an ode to colons, which is actually an ode to hashtag rap. And there’s Solange on the chorus and Maya Rudolph voicing a schoolteacher.
[Intro: Maya Rudolph & Lonely Island]
Okay everyone
Welcome to grammar class
Today we're learning about semicolons
Oh, oh, oh
Yes, Lonely Island?
We use semicolons everyday
Can you give me an example?
Oh, hell yeah
[Verse 1: Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, & Akiva Schaffer]
Get ready for a whale of a time; Shamu
My whole team coming clean; shampoo
These dudes is comic relief; Whoopi
And I'm the motherfucking monster; cookie
When you see me better cross the street; Frogger
Then go home and write about it; blogger
"Did I do that?"; Urkel
"Yo Angela, Who's The Boss?"; Merkel
I'll take you where you've never been; Oxnard
Then make you suck a bull’s nut; ox nard
If Miss Moore married Josh; Demi Brolin
A comma and a fucking dot; semicolon
[Chorus: Solange]
We run these streets; stop lights
All eyes on me; spot lights
Each semicolon brings us closer to the top
[Verse 2: Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, & Akiva Schaffer]
I'm loud and I'm zipping around; jet ski
Your dick is lil' like Wayne; Gretzky
But Gretsky's got a big dick; clarification
Everyone was rude to me; Paris vacation
My stomach's getting fat; food
Leave trash inside my car; rude
You're acting all mach-i-o; Ralph
But I'll eat all you cats; Alf
[Chorus 2: Solange]
We run the game; umpire
Always chase the night; young squire
These semicolons are my light inside the dark
[Verse 3: Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, & Akiva Schaffer]
It's right under your nose, semicolon; mouth
Opposite of north, semicolon; south
Right over your home, semicolon; attic
Hooked on semicolons, semicolon addict
[Chorus 3: Solange]
We got the game on lock; toy chest
You're too big for your clothes; boys’ vest
You know we out of control; no brakes
Your birthday party sucked; no cakes
[Breakdown: Solange]
When it comes to punctuation
You know we're number one
And to the people of every nation
Feel the power of the semicolon
[Outro: The Lonely Island and Maya Rudolph]
Semicolons
We rest our case
No actually those are examples of colons
You all get Fs
Wait, what?
