I turned up another one of the Book Fair songs of eons gone by, this one written from the point of view of the customer, for a change. Print this out, and when you buy that Roy Orbison album at the 2010 Book Fair, you can tuck this in with it. [or not.] If it does not become obvious immediately, the vandalized song this time is “Crying”.
1. My place was clean for a while;
The landlord smiled, for a while;
But I went to the Fair,
There were books everywhere
And my hand was on my cash.
Oh, I did quite well;
Anyone could tell
That I’d been buying
Lots more books,
Buying
Lots more books,
I was there so long
With all those books all around
I was there
Buying
Buying
Buying
Buying
It’s hard to understand
With all these books at hand
I can’t stop buying
2. The landlord scowls when I walk by
I know why, yes, why:
I’ve piled up even more
Than I had before
But really, what can I do?
Cause the Fair’s still there like a double dare
Buying
I must be
Buying
He must see
Books door to door through the whole first floor
I’ll be Buying
Buying
Buying Buying
Buying Buying Buying
I Need Books!
