Stampede to Read
Well It's a national obsession
And it happens in your head
One hundred million minds improved
One billion books read!
Anyone can do it
And it's absolutely free
If you want to find out what it's all about
Then join the read stampede!
If you want to learn the keys to success, stampede to read!
Just break away from that TV set, stampede to read!
If you want want your brain to stretch and grow, stampede to read!
Your library is the place to go - stampede to read!
It's a read stampede - everybody read!
It's a read stampede - everybody read!
If you like to relive history, stampede to read!
If you like to solve a good mystery, stampede to read!
If you're tired of being bored in the car, stampede to read!
You can pass the time wherever you are, stampede to read!
It's a read stampede - everybody read!
It's a read stampede - everybody read!
It's an Oklahoma challenge
We've been asked to do our part
Twelve million books are waiting
So it's time to get a start
The effort is expanding
But it's you we really need!
So kick that TV to the curb
And join the read stampede!
If you want to learn the keys to success, stampede to read!
Just break away from that TV set, stampede to read!
If you want want your brain to stretch and grow, stampede to read!
Your library is the place to go - stampede to read!
It's a read stampede - everybody read!
It's a read stampede - everybody read!
