歌曲 | 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 | |
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... |
