Lyrics
Informative. I just thought i'd let you know.
Explanatory. I just Thought i'd let you know.
(Repeat)
Informative. Explanatory[3x]
I inform. I explain.
(They ask me what i do) I inform, I explain.
(I inform, I explain.) Yeah, Yeah thats my thing
When it comes to an issue you're not sure of or uncertain
To give the reader better understanding, Thats my purpose
"The Yankees won the world series back in 1932"
Thats what we call a fact. (Informative) im informing you.
(Explanatory), See thats kind of like a Point of view
It's something you explain, Like the proper way to tie a shoe
Summaries. thats informative.
Instructions. Thats explanatory.
Newspapers. Thats informative.
Cookbooks. Thats explanatory.
Im giving you the facts and providing explanations
and conveying information,yeah,that's my occupation
The point im trying to make is,its all about providing knowledge
You will use this type of writing from Pre-K until you are in college
Informative. I just thought i'd let you know.
Explanatory. I just Thought i'd let you know.
(Repeat)
Informative. Explanatory[3x]
I inform. I explain.
