After the data have been collected by using test, it was found that the mean score of the experimental group at the pre-test was 5.9 and control group was 3.9. While, the mean score of the experimental group at the post test was 7.3and control group was 6.7. The obtained t-test was 4.5, whereas the t-table was 4.3for a = 5%. The t-test score was higher than the t-table (4.5 > 4.3). It was meant that Ha was accepted while Howas rejected. Since t-test score was higher than the t-table, lyric of song was effective media in improving students’ vocabulary of verb at the eighth graders of SMP Negeri 3 Pringgabaya in the academic year of 2014/2015.
