Read Honey - Parody #18

Read Honey

Written by CK

To the tune of “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain

We all have sorrow

But if we are wise

We know there’s books that we can borrow

Read honey, when you’re not strong

Books can be your friend

They’ll help you carry on

For it won’t be long

Til they’re gonna need

Somebody to read them

Please go take a ride

To the library where you can borrow

Lots of books that fill all of your needs

That you won’t let show

Just call a librarian, when you need a hand

They all know just where to find them

You just might have a subject that they understand

They all know just where to find them

Read honey, when you’re not strong

Books can be your friend

They’ll help you carry on

For it won’t be long

Til they’re gonna need

Somebody to read them

Just call a librarian, when you need a hand

They all know just where to find them

You just might have a subject that they understand

They all know just where to find them

If you have a load you have to bear

That you can’t carry

There are plastic bags

For your borrowed

Feel free to take one (take one)

If you need some help (take one) take one uh huh (take one)

If you need some help (take one)

If you ever need some help (take one)

Take one (take one) take one (take one) take one (take one) if you need some help

(Take one) Take one (take one) take one (take one) take one (take one)

Lean on Me - Original Lyrics

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have faith you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load

If you just call me (call me)

If you need a friend (call me) call me uh huh(call me) if you need a friend (call me)
If you ever need a friend (call me)

Call me (call me) call me (call me) call me
(Call me) call me (call me) if you need a friend
(Call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me)

and yes, the title of this parody does make me think of Karen Walker.
