Romance

I keep them on my upper shelf
right next to my picture books
I keep them on my upper shelf
'cause that's where they belong

I got them from a friend in school
supposed to teach me reading skills
but all I ever learned from them
it's easy knowing nothing

you may laugh as much as you like
but romance will find a way
and even though I may look like a fool
romance will find a way

I read the book a million times
every time it's wonderful
one edition '64
and the other is from the 80s

like the people in the book
at least I like most of them
I like the way they drink their beer
it's easy knowing nothing

you may laugh as much as you like
but romance will find a way
and even though I may look like a fool
romance will find a way
