        Bookland                       
                                       
        When you read,                 
        You find youself               
        In a fairy tale.               
        With Sindbad the sailor        
        You can go by whale.           
        You are always ready           
        Somebody to save.              
        Good books teach us            
        To be clever,                  
        Honest, kind, and brave.       
                                       
Chorus: Bookland, Bookland,            
        Imaginary world.               
        It is neither young,           
        Nor very old.                  
                                       
        When you read,                 
        You find yourself              
        In a distant land.             
        Beside Robinson Crusoe         
        You sit on the sand.           
        You are both                   
        Strong and healthy,            
        You ride a wolf or a horse     
        Either to the south            
        Or to the north.
