Chorus
Everybody move with me, get ready to start
You can let your body be a punctuation mark
Let your body be a period
Spread your feet, both hands out front
Fingers locked, make a little dot
Put a period at the end of a sentence
That makes a statement
Let your body be a question mark
Turn to the left, legs together and straight
Curve both arms over a little way
Jump for the dot in a question mark
When a sentence asks a question
Let your body be an exclamation point
Both hands together, way up high
Make your body be a straight line
Jump for the dot - explanation point
When a sentence shows excitement
Let your body be a comma
Both forearms together, fingers locked
Bring both hands to the left at the top
Put a comma, when there’s a little pause, in a sentence
I’ll say a sentence and you punctuate
Lions live in the jungle. Period
Do you like chocolate ice cream? Question Mark
Wow, that truck is awesome! Exclamation Point
My favorite colors are red, Comma yellow and blue
(Repeat Chorus)
