Some folks just love to watch TV
All those commercials sure do annoy me
I love a good book, an’ if I choose
I’ll read it all in one go –
If I couldn’t read, I wouldn’t know half o’ what I know
Chorus 1:
I’ll read standin’ up, sittin’ down, in the tub, on the plane
I’ve been turnin’ pages since I first met Dick an’ Jane
Some guys just love a game o’ poker
Me, I don’t know the difference
Between a jack an’ a joker –
But when ya read a book by Mosley
Man, you can’t lose –
Yes, I’m talkin’ ‘bout Walte, wrote RL’s Blues
Chorus 2:
I read it standin’ up, sittin’ down, in the tub on the train
I been turnin’ pages since I first met Dick an’ Jane
Some folks crazy ‘bout some Shakespeare
Some folks wild about their Langston Hughes
Some folks just love to read the Bible
An’ shout out the news –
As a child I loved my Hard Boys
An’my Nancy Drews
Chorus 3:
I’d read standin’ up, sittin’ down
Kids used to call me “Da Brain”
I been turnin’ pages since I first met Dick an’ Jane
Chorus 1:
I’ll read standin’ up...
