Mill Pond School staff helped students celebrate Read Across America Day with a lunchtime flash mob on Friday, March 3, 2017. Lots of fun with laughing students who exclaimed things like “best.lunch.ever!” “that was crazy funny” and “last time they did this it took me 3 months to get over it.” The faculty flash mob did not disappoint with their fun song and dance performance which they put on at each lunch, including twice at one lunch where students chanted “one more time!” demanding an encore. It was a really great time!
(By the way, last year’s was a big success, too. Watch the 2016 Flash Mob here. Different song, same message: Read!)
Here are the lyrics if you want top sing along!
I’ve got this feeling inside my brain
It goes electric when a good book’s in my hands
All through each chapter
All through each page
My mind can’t stop, keep reading, I’m close to the end
‘Cause I got that novel in my backpack,
Got that good book in my hands
I feel my heartbeat when I’m reading and it stops (ooh)
I can’t take my eyes off of it
Reading even in my sleep
Come and see how much I love it
I can’t stop
And with every word and with every page,
Can’t put it down when I’m getting so close
When we read, well you already know
So just imagine
Just imagine
Just imagine
Nothing I can’t think about when I read, read, read, read
I feel a good book creeping up on you
So just read, read, read, read
Find it at the library and you read, read, read, read
The library isn’t closing soon so keep reading
Can’t stop the reading
So just read, read, read
Can’t stop the reading
So just read, read, come on!
Ooh, it’s something magical
It’s in each thought, it’s in each page, it’s in each book
When I’m at school
When I’m at home,
We’re flying up ’cause reading takes us to our zone
‘Cause I got that novel in my backpack,
Got that good book in my hands
I feel my heartbeat when I’m reading and it stops (ooh)
I can’t take my eyes off of it
Reading even in my sleep
Come see how much I love it
I can’t stop
And with every word and with every page,
Can’t put it down when I’m getting so close
When we read, well you already know
So just imagine
Just imagine
Just imagine
Nothing I can’t think about when I read, read, read, read
I feel a good book creeping up on you
So just read, read, read, read
Find it at the library and you read, read, read, read
The library isn’t closing soon so keep reading
Can’t stop the reading
So just read, read, read
Can’t stop the reading
So just read, read, come on!
Can’t stop the reading
So just read, read, read
Can’t stop the reading
So just read, read, come on!
Can’t stop the reading!
This was the highlight of our dinner discussion! Would love the lyrics. So fun and creative.
Yes fun! Great idea – we’ll get them and post the lyrics here shortly.
Lyrics are on the page now – thanks Catherine!
