Also check out the "Chicken Song".Here are the lyrics as best as I can make them out...See all these beautiful booksThat's why I can never workI'm browsing through the titles, through the titlesWhen the day is overDang all these beautiful booksThey only make my eyeballs hurtThey've got me google eyed, all google eyedWhen the day is overSee it started in the ITC back in grade threeoh, William Steig's art, it captured my heartSo I checked out Shrek not expecting it'd be habit formingBut then I went from Shrek right to Richard PeckOh these books I consumed, then into Judy BlumeAnd soon I was reading Al Gore on global warmingSee it's very insane, all these entries I've gainedHave pumped up my brain, my back is in painOh Lord, these books are driving me crazySee all these beautiful booksTheir authors need to be expertsI'm browsing through the titles, through the titlesWhen the day is overDang all these beautiful booksThey're dishing every kind of dirtThey've got me google eyed, all google eyedWhen the day is overSee it was back in DePaul in the 5th grade hallI did a shameful crime at recess timeI snuck off to read When I should have been playing soccerI was on chapter ten of Huckleberry Finn I just had to know where that rat would goAnd when the class came in I stuffed it back into my lockerSee it gets me enraged that a kid of my ageShould be trapped in a cage of the printed pageOh Lord, these books are driving me crazySee all these beautiful booksThey've got my mind on high alertI'm browsing through the titles, through the titlesWhen the day is overDang all these beautiful booksThey're making me an introvertI'm going google eyed, I'm going google eyedWhen the day is overI was walking home from school, my nose in a bookI crossed Sherwood Road, I didn't even lookNow I'm hospitalized until my arms are mendedAnd the last book I borrowed from the ITCIs now a month overdue, oh woe is meMr. Jauch just called to tell me I'm suspendedSee all these beautiful booksThat's why I can never workI'm browsing through the titles, through the titlesWhen the day is overDang all these beautiful booksThey're making me an introvertThey've got me google eyed, all google eyedWhen the day is overThey've got me google eyed, all google eyedWhen the day is over
