Lyrics
READING WEEK
By Noreen Inglesi
Verse 1
Sing it soft and sing it slow
Sing along wherever you go
This is a song about books and stories
Freeing us from all our worries
Chorus
Oh, reading week, reading week
This is a song about reading week
Oh, reading week, reading week
Reading a story just can?t be beat
Rap 1
There?s a book about a whale who stood his ground
There?s even a book about the world being round
They talk about the woes of Jack and Jill
As they fetched that pail on up the hill
Verse 2
Sing it soft and sing it slow
Sing along wherever you go
Sing it from a valley or a mountain top
Sing it while you?re eating in a sandwich shop
Chorus
Oh, reading week, reading week
This is a song about reading week
Oh, reading week, reading week
Reading a story just can?t be beat
Rap 2
There?s a book about a giant up in the sky
When Jack in the beanstalk climbed so high
You?ll find an adventure wherever you go
Tucked away in the pages
Like a summer glow
Verse 3
Sing it soft and sing it slow
Sing along wherever you go
Sing in your classroom or when you?re home
But sing this song wherever you roam
Chorus
Oh, reading week, reading week
This is a song about reading week
Oh, reading week, reading week
Reading a story just can?t be beat
Repeat verse 1 slowly and sing chorus 2 times a tempo
Verse 1
Sing it soft and sing it slow
Sing along wherever you go
This is a song about books and stories
Freeing us from all our worries
Chorus
Oh, reading week, reading week
This is a song about reading week
Oh, reading week, reading week
Reading a story just can?t be beat
Reading a story just can?t be beat
