While we're waiiting on a bomb you haven't dropped yet They'd rather burn you then have to learn you Their little fingers are too slippery to turn you The truth waits for us to dissect it And librarians are here to protect it So grab some glasses if you need And climb atop the worlds' mightiest steed We're gonna read until our fingers bleed It's a seed, it's a need, it's an urge you gotta heed It's a growl in your stomach that you know you gotta feed Let's show 'em how to read!
