COLLINS:
Look at this book;
It’s the very latest.
Look how big it is,
With its one thousand pages.
You’ll enjoy it, I sure did.
Let me see it; I’ll take a look.
Don’t got much to do
Since I’ve been out of work.
But I have time to spare.
I’ll read it and it looks like a good book.

I think they meant it,
When they said good books are priceless.
Now I know you can’t rent it
And a new book for me.
To read, all my life.

I’ve longed to discover a book that’s good as this is.


JOANNE & SOLOISTS:
So with a thousand long pages,
I’ll read it.
With a thousand long pages,
I’ll read it.
With a thousand long pages,
You’ll read it.
With a thousand long pages,
You’ll read it.

COLLINS:
If you're board and you're lonely,
You’ve got one weekend only.
When you're relaxing and tired,
When you have nothing else to do.


COMPANY:
Five hundred twenty-five hundred six hundred children,
Five hundred twenty-five hundred screaming juniors,
Five hundred twenty-five hundred little brownies,
How do you keep ‘em---?

COLLINS & COMPANY:
Oh books, I’ll read you. Yeah.

COLLINS:
I’ll read you.

COMPANY:
Five hundred twenty-five hundred six hundred children
Five-hundred twenty-five hundred screaming juniors.

COLLINS:
I’ll read you.
