Well you should see my story reading baby
           A7                       D
You should hear the things that she says
                                    G
She says "Drop dead hon, I'd rather go to bed
     A7                D
With Gabriel Garcia Marquez!"

Cuddle up with William S. Burroughs
Leave on the lights for Bell Hooks
I've been flirting with Pierre Burton
Cause he's so smart in his books

G                D
I like to go out dancing
G                        D
My baby loves a bunch of authors
G                       D
My heart's so broke and bleeding
G                          D
Baby's just sitting there, doing some reading

So I started watching some TV
Played my new CD player too
She said "Turn it off or I'll call the cops
And I'll the throw the book at you!"

All this arguing made me dizzy
Called my doctor to come have a look
I said "Doctor hurry!" he said "Don't you worry
I'll be over when I finish my book!"

I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We've been living in hovels
Spending all our money on brand new novels

So I got myself on the streetcar
And it ran right into someone
The driver said "I was looking straight ahead!"
But he was reading the Toronto Sun ("So?")

So my honey and me go to a counsellor
To help figure out what we need
She said "We'll get your love growing
But before you get going here's some books I'd like you to read!"

I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
Lately we've had some friction
Cause my baby's hooked on short works of fiction

(No chords)
So we split and went to a party
Some friends my girl said she knew
But what a sight cause it was author's night
And the place looks like a who's who

(Back to verse chords)
Now I'm pounding out the ouzo with Mario Puzo
Who's a funny fella, it's W.P. Kinsella
Who brought the cat, would Margaret Atwood?
Who needs a shave, it's Robertson Davies

Ondaatje started a foodfight
Salmon moose all over the scene
Spilled some dressing on Doris Lessing
These writer types are a scream

I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We'll be together for ages
Eating and sleeping and
Eating and sleeping and
Eating und sleeping und
Turning pages
