This song is also available on Ants on a Log album Make It Myself.
Ask me what book am I reading
Look at me like I know things
Ask me what book am I reading
Look at me like I know things
Ask me which historical figure
Might I invite to dinner
I've got smart things to say
But you might hear much less if you
Start all your conversations
“My what a pretty dress”
Ask me what book am I reading
And maybe if you're lucky i'll ask you what book you're reading too
It's my favorite holiday, our family New Years Eve
We'll stay up til midnight, it'll be next year when you all leave
We’ll make homemade pizza for our winter celebration
But some of you adults need some help with conversation
Ask me what book am I reading
Look at me like I know things
Ask me which new invention
Should go in your collection
I've got smart things to say
But you might hear much less if you
Start all your conversations,
“Oooh I love your dress!”
Ask me what book am I reading
And maybe if you're lucky i'll ask you what book you're reading too
We've got cake and ice cream, happy birthday to me
We'll stay up til midnight, telling jokes and watching bad TV
Now I'm one year older and you're wondering what to get me
For my birthday, just tell me more than, “you are so pretty”
Ask me what book am I reading, what book am I reading, what book am I
reading and maybe if you're lucky, I’ll ask you…
