Lyrics
Pump, Pump, Pump it up!
I’ve finished my story, I’m done
Pump, Pump, Pump it up!
My story’s all done
Pump, Pump, Pump it up!
I’ve finished my story, I’m done
Pump, Pump, Pump it up…
Wait, stop!
You may want to forget it,
but you’ve come this far.
It’s time to re-read and edit.
It’s not even that hard.
First things first!
You’ve got to read your work aloud. (Aloud)
We’re listening for fluency,
how smooth your story sounds. (Listen up)
You might come across a verb whose tense
does not agree with its noun or pronoun.
Listen up, carefully;
“Hans be running” sounds funny…
“They is running” ‘s not ok (no way)
It’s so easy to get pumped up
and overlook small mistakes. (switch it up)
Now, “Hans is running,” or,
“They are running”, feels good to say aloud
because you’ve properly conjugated
your verbs with your nouns.
CHORUS
Listen up! Now editing is all
about the way your words look. (look at that)
There are a certain set of rules
for publishing a book.
Mechanics are the name
for what I’m about to address:
Capitalization, spell check,
punc-punctuation,
don’t forget “indent.”
Take another really close look
with your eyes.
Are there any proper nouns
you forgot to capitalize..?
Alright stop!
See “doug” with a lower case “d?”
You better pump, pump, pump, pump it
Upper Case!
See “Ball” with a capital “B?”
You better down down down size to a
lower case.
“mister Lemur” with a lower case “m?”
You better pump, pump, pump, pump it
upper case.
Re-read, now check it all again, don’t stop!
CHORUS
You won’t want to regret it.
You’ve made a work of art.
After revisions, let’s edit.
Need help on where to start?
You should make sure to circle
any words that might not look correct.
You can use a dictionary when necessary,
for meaning and spelling checks.
At the beginning of paragraphs
let us not forget to leave some room to indent.
We’re almost done editing now…
Pump, Pump, Pump it up!
My story’s almost done.
Pump, Pump, Pump it up!
This editing is… (..is it?)
Pump, Pump, Pump it up!
My story’s almost done.
Pump, Pump, Pump it up!
This editing is kind of fun!
Last step: gotta punc-punc-punctuate
(sing it) (punc-punc-punctuate)
Re-read! Better punc-punc-punctuate,
my periods and commas…
never know if my writing will be seen
by President Obama.
Now punctuation also includes parentheses.
Use them to add something extra,
put these words in-between.
Don’t confuse exclamation
and question marks.
One’s for wonders and
the other one’s for exciting remarks.
Lastly, don’t forget
quotation marks, and then,
use them when someone is speaking.
“Time to EDIT,” Jonny said.
CHORUS
You won’t want to regret it.
You’ve made a work of art.
After revisions, let’s edit.
It’s not even that hard.
Pump, Pump, Pump it up!
I’ve finished my story I’m done.
Pump, Pump, Pump it up!
Wait, stop!
Time to publish.
