I'm A Bookworm
Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street
here they are, The Bookworms!
I'm the kind of worm
Who likes to coil up with a book
I worm my way inside it
And have myself a look
I'm a bookworm baby
Reading books is what I do
Background worms: That's what you do
That's what you do
And if you love reading baby
You can be a bookworm too
Some worms like to garden
They dig the dirt all day
I'd rather read about it
I'm a bookworm all the way
I'm a bookworm baby
Reading books is what I do
Background worms: That's what you do
That's what you do
And if you love reading baby
You can be a bookworm too
Books make me wiggle
Books make me squirm
And that is why I am a real bookworm
Hey let me tell you now
Let's read those bedtime stories
A poem is what I need
I inch along the page and then I
Read, read, read
I'm a bookworm baby
Reading books is what I do
Background worms: That's what you do
That's what you do
And if you love reading baby
You can be a bookworm too
And if you love reading baby
You can be a bookworm too
