I知 heading off to the bookstore,
Though it痴 all cold and gray.
The gloomy weather I値l ignore,
And stay there all the day.
Rainy days were designed
With bookstore holing up in mind,
Rainy days were designed,
Rainy days were designed,
So hanging out there I知 inclined.
I知 heading off to the bookstore,
I値l wander through the rows,
I値l pick two books or three or four
Then this I do propose,
I値l grab a chair, my favorite one,
If it痴 been taken I知 undone,
I値l grab a chair
I値l grab a chair
And will surrender it to none!
Just heading off to the bookstore,
To spend this rainy day,
I値l take chai tea and tangerines,
And while the hours away.
I値l plop right down, kick off my shoes,
Lose those dreary winter blues,
I値l plop right down
I値l plop right down,
And read and snack and snooze.
