Chorus
Reading, reading
Reading gives a feeling
Reading makes your life
So wonderful and pleasing
Reading, reading
Reading gives a feeling
Reading makes your life
So wonderful and pleasing
When I curl up on my sofa
And I read my book
With a cup of hot tea
And a furry cloak
And I read every word
With a screen in my mind
And I see what I’m reading
All of the time!
Sometimes I am wandering far and wide
In the streets of a thriller
Or the sands of time
And I listen to the voice
Of the writer in my head
Then I feel the power
And I feel the dread
Coz I’m reading, reading (chorus)
And I’m reading on my back
And I’m reading on my front
And I’m reading on the stairs
And I’m reading for a stunt
And I’m reading for some fun
And I’m reading for my job
And I’m reading for some cooking
And my heart starts to throb
Coz I’m reading, reading (chorus)
And I’m reading a book called Animal Farm
And Wuthering Heights
And The Withered Arm
And The Lord of the Rings
And The Gorgon’s Head
With The Hunger Games
What The Thunder Said
And Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry
And The Wind in the Willows
And The Lord of the Flies
And Harry Potter
And Stig of the Dump
And a comic strip about Donald Trump!
And Talking Turkeys
The Faerie Queene
Les Misérables
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
And Something Wicked This Way Comes
Of Mice And Men
The Royal Hunt For The Sun
And The Masnavi
And Things Fall Apart
Coz I’m reading, reading! (chorus)
