Read a Book!

Verse 1
Want to go back in time
Or zoom up high into space?
Meet a mythical beast
Or find a magical place?
Want to ride a gnu
Or win a bicycle race?
This is all you need to do,
This is all you need to do,

Chorus
Just read a book, read a book!
Open the cover and take a look.
Turn the page, you’ll be there,
It’ll take you anywhere,
It’ll take you anywhere.

Verse 2
Want to laugh at a joke
Or have a chat with a flea?
Find a dinosaur egg
Or have a tiger for tea?
Want to play with an elf
Or sail a ship on the sea?
This is all you need to do,
This is all you need to do, 

Chorus

Verse 3
Want to pilot a plane
Or have a shark for a friend?
Solve a mystery or two
Or make a million to spend?
Cast a wizarding spell
Or start a new fashion trend?
This is all you need to do,
This is all you need to do, 

Chorus
(Repeat last line)
