lyrics

D, E, A, R, Drop everything and read!

At my school they've got this thing called
DEAR Time.
It's my favorite part of any
week.
Eyes are locked on the clock that shows us,
and when that time arrives you'll know 'cause
that's when we get to drop everything and read!

D, E, A, R, Drop everything and read!

Listen to the sound of pages
turning.
Feel those brainwaves buzzing through the
halls.
Reading the headlines - that's our hamster!
Even the cafeteria staff are
dropping everything to answer to that call.

Now where's that page that I was on?
I dive back in and before to long
the world around me simply fades
away.
I'm sailing 'cross the seven seas
or swinging through the jungle trees!
My heart is racing! Teacher, hey,
we've got to do this every day!

D, E, A, R, Drop everything and read!

See the faces frowning when our
time's up.
Hear the gripes and groans as we
protest.
Teacher insists we'll read again
but I still wish it wouldn't end, 'cause
DEAR is the time I love the
best!
DEAR is the time I love the
best!
DEAR is the time I love the
best!
