Lyrics: A favorite at libraries and schools.

If you’re looking for adventure; you want to unwind
Pick up a good story; get out of that old grind, and

(Chorus:)
Read a book (read, read, read, read a book)
Read a book (read, read, read, read a book)
If you’re looking for laughter, if fun is what you’re after - [3rd phrase changes]
Read a book (read, read, read, read a book)

If you’ve got a question, something’s on your mind
Reading is the answer, be a mastermind!

(Chorus)
There’s a way to find out, don’t leave any doubt

Daytime, night time, morning time, noon
Afternoon, bed time, any time is good to

(Chorus)
Don’t you frown, just sit right down and

Now it is your bed time, you cannot fall asleep
Reading is the answer; why bother counting sheep?

(Chorus)
Pull the covers 'round, now, snuggle on down and

(Tag:)
Read a book (read, read, read, read a book)
Read a book (read, read, read, read a book)
Read a book!
