[Verse 1]
At home, sitting in my favorite nook
Girl's trying to make me eat some dinner she cooked.
I'm reading a book, girl.
I'm reading a book.
Don't you ever interrupt me when I'm reading a book.
On the shoulder. I got pulled over.
Pig's trying to make me roll my window lower.
I'm reading a book, pig.
I'm reading a book.
Don't you ever interrupt me when I'm reading a book.
[Bridge]
Why all these people always interrupting me?
What I gotta do to try to make them see?
[Chorus]
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book, now.
I'm reading a book.
I'm reading a book.
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book.
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book, now.
I'm reading a book.
I'm reading a book.
Don't you don't you ever ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book.
[Verse 2}
At the library, where they call me a crook.
I never even pay for my library books.
I take them from the shelf, and if anyone looks, I say
I'm reading a book, man.
I'm reading a book.
At some stupid birthday party for some stupid kid.
Took a book from a present that was 'sposed to be his.
Now I'm bout to find out what happens to Captain Hook.
Cause I'm reading your book, kid.
I'm reading your book.
[Bridge]
Why all these people always interrupting me?
What I gotta do to try to make them see?
[Chorus]
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book, now.
I'm reading a book.
I'm reading a book.
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book.
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book, now.
I'm reading a book.
I'm reading a book.
Don't you don't you ever ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book.
[Chorus Reprise]
If you ever interrupt me, you can bet you're gonna see
The nasty me.
The nasty me.
The nasty me.
I'm reading a book.
I'm reading a book.
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book.
I'm reading a book.
I'm reading a book.
Don't you don't you ever ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book.
I'm reading a book.
I'm reading a book.
Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book.
I'm reading a book.
I'm reading a book.
Don't you don't you ever ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book.
