      Prepare a printout of the lyrics so you can sing along. To give yourself a jump-start on memorizing the lyrics, you can also try manually re-typing them into a word processor or copying them out by hand. That forces your brain to process the information an additional time, word by word.

      Stream the audio of the song as you sing along, or download it to your computer. Downloading is a better choice for users with a slow Internet connection, as streaming audio can sometimes be choppy at slower connection speeds.
