I'm Reading A Book Lyrics
Julian Smith
Lyrics
At home sitting in my favorite nook
My girl's trying to get me
Eat some dinner she cooked
I'm reading a book, girl
I'm reading a book
Don't you ever interrupt me
While I'm reading a book
On the shoulder
I got pulled over
Pig's trynna get me
Roll my window lower
I'm reading a book, pig
I'm reading a book
Don't you ever interrupt me
While I'm reading a book
Why are all these people always interrupting me?
What I gotta do to try to make them see?
(Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book, now)
I'm reading a book, I'm reading a book
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book
(Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book, now)
I'm reading a book, I'm reading a book
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book
I'm at the library, where they call me a crook
I never even pay for my library books
I take them from the shelf
And if anyone looks I say
I'm reading a book, man
I'm reading a book
At a stupid birthday party for some stupid kid
Took a book from a present
That was supposed to be his
Now I'm about to find out what happens to Captain Hook
'Cause I'm reading your book, kid
I'm reading your book
Why are all these people always interrupting me?
What I gotta do to try to make them see?
(Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book, now)
I'm reading a book, I'm reading a book
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book
(Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book, now)
I'm reading a book, I'm reading a book
Don't you, don't you ever, ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book
If you ever interrupt me
You can bet you're gonna see
The nasty me, the nasty me, the nasty me
(Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book, now...)
I'm reading a book, I'm reading a book
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book
I'm reading a book, I'm reading a book
Don't you, don't you ever, ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book
(Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book, now)
I'm reading a book, I'm reading a book
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book
I'm reading a book, I'm reading a book
Don't you, don't you ever, ever inter...
(Bagpipe)
