CHORUS:
You’ve got to read. Crack a book!
You’ve got to feed. Take a look!
Your hungry mind. Find a nook!
So take some time.  Read a book!

Oh Crack a book! You’ve  got to read
Take a look! You’ve  got to feed.
Find a nook! Your hungry mind
So read a book! Take some time.

So many choices in the library.
I’ll find a book just right for me.
A tale of the sea about Moby Dick
Or a how-to book of magic tricks.

Teacher says I need a biography
For my report on Robert E. Lee
And I’ll keep lookin’, ‘cause when I’m done
I’ll read about lizards, just for fun.     

I wanna keep readin’ to feed my mind,
And load it up with good stuff all of the time.
Makin’ my brain what it ought to be
I’d rather crack a book than watch TV.

Final Chorus:

Crack a book. (C’mon kids, let’s get crackin’!)
Crack a book. (do do do do do do do do do)
Crack…………..(knocking sound)………..Crack a book!
