Lil B Dub: The Rapping Book Worm Lyrics by Melvil Dewey

Papercuts

2013

[Intro: Lil B Dub]
Yeah, it's Lil B Dub, the rappin' book worm
I'm eatin' library books up
I'm eatin books up like this:
Nom-om-om-om, om-om-om-om-om, om-om-om-om-om-om
I eat books like this:
[Chorus: Melvil Dewey, Lil B Dub]
Nom-nom-nom, books are for eatin'
No they're not, books are for readin'
Nom-nom-nom, books are for eatin'
No they're not, books are for readin'
Nom-nom-nom, books are for eatin'
No they're not, books are for readin'
Nom-nom-nom, books are for eatin'
No they're not, books are for readin'
[Verse 1: Melvil Dewey, Lil B Dub]
Check out a book from a library
Open it up, and jeez Louise
It had so many holes, it was like Swiss cheese
That's when a little voice said "it was me!"
Who are you? Lil B Dub
I'm the rappin' bookworm, what's up?
Why are there holes in my library book?
'Cause books are yummy, I eat them up
But if you eat books, kids can't read 'em
If I don't eat books, what do I eat then?
Well, how 'bout some fruit or some vegetables?
No, I prefer eatin' graphic novels
Hey, you can't eat books, it's not allowed
But when I see a book, my tummy growls
And you drool, ew! That's not polite!
Sorry 'bout that, but I gotta take a bite, like...
[Chorus: Melvil Dewey, Lil B Dub]
Nom-nom-nom, books are for eatin'
No they're not, books are for readin'
Nom-nom-nom, books are for eatin'
No they're not, books are for readin'
Nom-nom-nom, books are for eatin'
No they're not, books are for readin'
Nom-nom-nom, books are for eatin'
No they're not, books are for readin'
[Verse 2: Melvil Dewey, Lil B Dub, Both]
If I can't eat books then I'll eat up kids, like
Nom-nom-nom, just kidding!
Yeah, don't eat the kids, they don't taste good
Why do you think I eat library books?
Like I said before, eatin' books is forbidden
Aw, come on! Books taste just like chicken
But if you eat up the books, there's no stories
I can't help it, I'm so hungry!
Your appetite is bigger than The Hungry Caterpillar!
Books are what I eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Can I eat a library book, pretty please?
No, you can't, I'm so sorry
But I'm a bookworm, and you are what you eat
And I'm a librarian, you are what you read
So eat right, yeah (And read right, too)
And visit your library, woo-woo!
[Chorus: Melvil Dewey, Lil B Dub]
Nom-nom-nom, books are for eatin'
No they're not, books are for readin'
Nom-nom-nom, books are for eatin'
No they're not, books are for readin'
Nom-nom-nom, books are for eatin'
No they're not, books are for readin'
Nom-nom-nom, books are for eatin'
No they're not, books are for readin'
