Lyrics

I was sitting at home with nowhere to roam looking for something to do
In need of adventure, indentured to boredom and feeling a little bit blue
My mama said look you should pick up a book, you’re sure to find something to suit ya
Maybe a story of pirates who sail the seas or of people who live in the future
Or if you like animals, I’ve got a few tales to tickle your fancy
She handed me one that had stories about a spider that they call Anansi

There are tales of tails and claws and scales and animals gone off the proverbial rails
Books full of facts and books full of fiction and books full of fantasy
And if your shelves they get bare and I don ’t mean a bear with hair I mean they get empty
I think you’ll agree you should listen to me and head on down to your
Library, your library, your library

Wilbur and Charlotte became closest of friends, their differences just didn’t matter
And Alice she had an adventure that led her to tea with a hare and a hatter
Curious George was named curious George for his inquisitive nature
Peter the rabbit, he had a bad habit of stealing from Mr. McGregor
Don’t let the pigeon drive that bus, I think that he’ll listen to you
If you give a moose a muffin, he’ll probably end up wanting a little jam too
Tigger loved bouncing and pouncing with Roo and hanging with his good friend Winnie the Poo
And given a chance even giraffes that can’t dance will show you just what they can do

There are tales of tails and claws and scales and animals gone off the proverbial rails
Books full of facts and books full of fiction and books full of fantasy
And if your shelves they get bare and I don’t mean a bear with hair I mean they get empty
I think you’ll agree you should listen to me and head on down to your
Library, your library, your library…
Read, read, read, read, read (what’s your favorite book)
