Nina West
The Reading Song
[Verse 1]
Read for fun, don't read for filth
Read the ingredients for cookies and milk
Read street signs on your way to school
Read all day ’cause reading's cool
Read books, don't read your friends

[Verse 2]
Read between the lines of Jack and Jill
Read at the library, get your fill
Read the alphabet and numbers too
Read my lips when I sing to you
Read books, don’t read your friends

[Chorus]
Oh-woah-oh, we can read all day
Oh-woah-oh, but only in a nice way
Oh-woah-oh, keep it gentle
'Cause reading's fundamental

[Spoken Interlude]
What is reading?
Well, reading is when you say something not so nice to another person
Something like, "woah, who made your bed, Mommy, an army of squirrels?"
But Mommy might not like you saying that
So stick to reading books from the library
Okay, kids?

[Chorus]
Oh-woah-oh, we can read all day
Oh-woah-oh, but only in a nice way
Oh-woah-oh, keep it gentle
'Cause reading's fundamental

[Verse 1]
Read for fun, don't read for filth
Read the ingredients for cookies and milk
Read street signs on your way to school
Read all day 'cause reading's cool
Read books, don’t read your friends

[Outro]
Read books, don’t read your friends
Read books, don't read your friends
