This study approached by using Hatch and Brown’s (1995) theory of types of vocabulary and Halliday’s (1975) theory. The data of the study are derived from lyric of the song which are then analysed using descriptive qualitative method. The results of this study indicate that the lyrics of the song contains a number of different vocabularies in each genre which are divided into two types of vocabulary and shows that the vocabulary of productive type appears more in the song lyrics for each genre, which means that all genres of songs are good for learning English vocabulary because students need more productive vocabulary in their learning to further improve their ability to master English vocabulary.
