How to Cite Poetry, Song Lyrics, & Plays in MLA Style



UPDATE: MLA has published a new, 8th edition. Some of the recommendations for citing are quite different. We are currently working on a new video series. Please see our online guide for help with MLA 8th edition: http://bit.ly/2G15cRN

This video explains how to cite verse (poetry, song lyrics, plays) according to the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. Topics covered: 1-3 lines of verse (0:54), 1-3 lines of Shakespeare/plays (1:40), block quotes (2:14), dialogue 2 or more characters (2:54), using an ellipsis (3:17).

The content was created by Crystal Rose, Public Services Librarian, Memorial University Libraries, in partnership with the university’s department of Distance Education, Learning & Teaching Support.

thanks for watching!

LYRICS: Tall and tan and young and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, each one she passes goes ah! When she walks, she’s like a samba That swings so cool and sways so gentle That when she passes, each one she passes goes ooh! But I watch her so sadly How can I tell her I love her Yes I would give my heart gladly But each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at me! Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, I smile but she doesn’t see ! *** ALBUM SONG LIST: The Girl From Ipanema, Girl Crazy, Gina, Gigi, Ghost & George M.
