It's time for another Song Wednesday — Versus Week style! This song is about the difference between "than" and "then," and how it's not all that complicated. "Than" is a comparative word that (as the title implies) compares one thing to another, while "then" is an adverb referring to a position in time.

Song Lyrics:
Woke up this morning, then put on my shoes
Turned on the T.V., then I heard the news
Seems things are worse than I'd ever foresee
An abject rejection of literacy
Typographic butchery
Kids these days, I'm afraid, make me sad when
They don't know the difference between than and then
So here's a reminder I've put in this rhyme
The "A" one's comparative, "E" refers to time
Take out the garbage, then clean up your room
I find the word "who" less annoying than whom
You see how "then" teaches you the order of things?
And the other "than" shows you the difference between
Restore order and you'll see
[Chorus]
[Musical Break]
[Chorus 2x]
