Go Wild...READ!

Song composed by Lucas Miller

[mp3 file] - Listen to the song

Do you want to go wild?
Do you want to step back in time and party with a T. Rex?
Or do you want to sail away with pirates who have peg legs?
Yea, that’s what I call going wild, child.

Do you want to go wild?
Do you want to blast off in a rocket and put a child on Mars?
Or go underground with the bunny rabbits in your own backyard?
Well, I know how to be that wild.

Chorus:

Well open up a book
On the couch or in the car.
In the pages of a book
That’s where the wildest things are!

You can go loco, down at your loco library.
You can go solo, or bring the whole family.
When you want to go wild, wild, wild --
R-E-A-D Read! (Repeat)

Do you want to go wild?
Do you want to dive down to the ocean floor without a submarine?
Do you want to ride a camel ‘cross the desert without a canteen?
Now that’s pretty wild, child.

Do you want to go wild?
Do you want to climb from limb to limb with some monkey friends?
Or go the speed of light with some little green men?
I know how to be that wild.

Chorus:

Just open up a book
On the couch or in the car.
In the pages of a book
That’s where the wildest things are!

You can go loco, down at your loco library.
You can go solo, or bring your loco family.
When you want to go wild, wild, wild --
R-E-A-D Read! (Repeat)
