Baby Got Book

I like big books and I cannot lie
You other readers can’t deny
That a book’s sum total worth
Is tied up in its girth
And you’re hooked, wanna pull out your change
‘Cause you notice that the spine’s got range,
Not just an inch upon the shelf–
It’s got a zipcode to itself!
Oh, Melville, I wanna get witcha
Don’t care if you got no picture.
My professor tried to warn me,
Told me Les Miserables was way too corny
But a cosette you know it’s not–
And big books make me hot.
I page turn, page turn
‘Til the ends of my fingers burn.
Can’t help that my reading,
Resembles piranhas feeding
I’m fierce, and I pierce,
As I tear through Ambrose Bierce.
Can’t stand no magazine–
Pretending it’s a weighty thing?
Take an English lit geek and ask him that,
Man’s got no use for tracts.

Baby’s got book.

A word to the thick book writah–
I won’t hate or fight ya
But I gotta be straight when I say
I wanna read ’till the break of dawn.
Man-u-script got it going on.
A lot of dopes won’t like this song,
‘Cause them punks like to skip it and Cliff it,
And I’d rather read all day.
You’re long, but I’m strong,
And I’m down to get my fiction on.

Link-- hey, that's my 200th blog entry! Neato!
Baby’s got book.

Awesome! I have to show all my bookstore friends! I swear if I still worked there I would do it up in cross stitch and hang it in my office!

I was expecting the Baby Got Book music video.

quote:
I like big Bibles and I can not lie
You Christian brothers can’t deny
That when a girl walks in with KJV
And a bookmark in Proverbs
You get stoked
Got her name engraved
So you know this girl is saved
It looks like one of those large ones
With plenty of space in the margins.
Oh baby I wanna read with ya
Cause your Bible’s got pictures
My minister tried to console me
But that book you got
Makes me so HOLY
Oh mama-mia you say you want koinonia
Well bless me, bless me and
Teach me about John Wessley

I saw her praying,
While I was DJ-ing
She got grace, pretty face, she ain’t going down to the bad place

I’m tired of heathen guys
Saying they like pocket size
As the average Christian I take a look
She gotta pack much book

So fellas? Yeah Fellas? Yeah Has your girlfriend got the book? oh Yeah
Well read it, (read it), read it, (read it) read that Holy Book
Baby Got Book

Baby Got Book
NIV with the ribbon bookmark


I like ‘em leather and bound
It’s 50 pounds
I just can’t understand
How it is some weenie wants Bible on CD
She want to get you saved- AMEN! Double up AMEN
I ain’t talking about a paraphrase
Cause Paul won’t use those any ways
I like ‘em real thick and red lettered
You can’t find nothing better
Southpaws in love
Bibles that big are unheard of
So I’m sitting here thinking what if?
I find me a girl that shows mid-drift
You can have those bimbos
I keep those chicks that do devos

A word to the Christian sisters
I can’t resist yah
I do God’s time with yah
But I gotta be straight when I say I want to pray
Till the break of day
Baby got it going on
Like the wife in Proverbs 31
We just might get engaged
When we finish reading this page
Cause it’s worn and it’s torn
And I know that girls reborn

So ladies? (Yeah) Ladies? (Yeah)
Do you want to save people from Hades? (Yeah)
Then read it till the pages fall out
Even white preachers gotta shout
Baby got book

Thompson Chain with the big red letters
Thompson Chain with the big red letters
Baby got book

YEAH baby
When it comes to a good book
Stephen King’s resume just can’t compare
39 plus 27 equals 66 books
And if you’re Catholic there’s even more
So your girlfriend’s quotes real high role
But does she got a big Bible
Cause that little thing she’s got won’t start a revival
My Bible study don’t want none unless you got book hon

You can read Clancy or Grisham but please don’t loose this book
Some brothers want to play that hard role
And tell you that books too old
So they toss it and they burn it
But I pull up quick to just learn it
So your girl likes paperback
Well I ain’t down with that
Cause my girlfriend’s hot and her Bible’s rockin’
And she’s got good doctrine
To the atheist chicks who try to diss
You ain’t it miss priss
Give me a Christian I’m insisting
And I’ll greet her with some holy kissin’

Some pervert try to chase
But he didn’t make it past first base
She’s quick to resist temptation
And she loves the new translation

So ladies who are lost and found
If you want the triple 6 thrown down
Dial 1-800- READS A LOT and teach me about those Psalms

NIV with the ribbon bookmark
Baby got book
Thompson Chain with the big red letters

Bible college knowledge but she still got book

lyrics copypasted from this site

I knew that the title had been used before; I like mine better.
