Posted by: Admin

More lyrics from the musical interludes featured during the Booklist Reference program, "Why Can’t an E-book Be More Like the Print".

Lyrics by David Tyckoson

Went in to a library in Texas
A nice old classic Carnegie
Saw lots of books on the shelving
But was looking for some that were E

(chorus)
Download me another e-book, madame
For they are the best in the land
I need another hit
Mystery or wit
To be a satisfied e-book readin’ man.
The librarian brought me a print book
I thanked her but set it right aside
She went back to her desk
While I did the rest
And logged right on into Overdrive

 

(chorus)
Download me another e-book, madame
For they are the best in the land

Cause all kinds of e-books are grand.

With a Kindle full of new reads
But she needs to discern
And really ought to learn
How to satisfy an e-book readin’ man.

 

(chorus)
Download me another e-book, madame
For they are the best in the land
Take this here nook
And add some e-books
To satisfy this e-book readin’ man.
