Turning Pages
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
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 of poker
Me, I don't know the difference
Between a jack an' a joker
But when you read a book by Mosley
Man, you can't lose
Yes, I'm talkin' 'bout Walte, wrote RL's Blues
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
And my Nancy Drews
I'd read standin' up, sittin' down
Kids used to call me "The brain"
I been turnin' pages since I first met Dick an' Jane
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
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
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 of poker
Me, I don't know the difference
Between a jack an' a joker
But when you read a book by Mosley
Man, you can't lose
Yes, I'm talkin' 'bout Walte, wrote RL's Blues
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
And my Nancy Drews
I'd read standin' up, sittin' down
Kids used to call me "The brain"
I been turnin' pages since I first met Dick an' Jane
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
