borrowed from a post on a comic board
I like big BOOKS and I cannot lie
You other readers can't deny
When a little fan walks in with them huge rectangles in yo' face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your shelf
'Cause you notice that book was stuffed
All up in the pages its showing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh book, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that edition you got makes me so nerdy
Ooh, pages-o'-smooth-bind
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, read me, read me, read me
'Cause you ain't that average anthology
you bet, it's THICKSET,
Got it readin' like HERCULEAN
I'm tired of magazines(This line fits!)
Sayin' small trades are the thing
Take the average comic and ask him that
She gotta pack TITANIC
So, fanboys! (Yeah!) fanboys! (Yeah!)
Has your shelves got the bind? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to read it! (Read it!) Read it! (Read it!)
Read that healthy book!
Baby got BIND!
I like 'em square, and big
And when I'm throwin' a gig
I just can't help myself, I'm readin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal
I wanna get you home
And ugh, shelf-up, ugh, ugh
'Cause card stock parts are made for boys
I want 'em real thick and bulky
So find that immense double
Fanboys are trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that
So I'm lookin' at JUMBO
Cardboard bound editions big like FULLY GROWN
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my books like a GIANT ASS TOME
I won't fuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna *READ*
Till the break of dawn
Booky got it goin' on
A lot of wimps won't like this song
'Cause them punks like their floppies
And I'd rather stay and play my TPB's
'Cause It's long, and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the edition on
So, fanboys! {Yeah!} fanboys! {Yeah}
If you wanna roll in my ikea {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Read it out!
Even vertigo boys got to shout
Baby got book!
Some brothers wanna play that "hard" cover
And tell you that the bind ain't gold, brother
So they toss it their little pamphlets
And I pull up quick to reread it
So Didio says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that!
'Cause your shelf is small and your pages are kickin'
And I'm thinkin' about how I was stickin'
To the single issue things in the magazines:
Omnibus introduction of the Thing!
Give me a b-lister , I can't resist
Some knucklehead tried to dis
'Cause his stories are on my pull list
He had game but he chose to ditch 'em
Oversized, man, make you go "hurm"
If the book is downright gargantuan,
And all them Omnibuses have got to show in,
Can't even fit in a backpack
Book got back!
