My elbows hurt, the book gets wet
I drop it in and get upset
It’s something that I just don’t get –
Reading in the bath
Everybody says it’s great
I tried it once and got irate
It’s something that I really hate –
Reading in the bath
The pages got all moist with soap
I tried awhile then gave up hope
From me it gets a hearty ‘nope’ –
Reading in the bath
I spent a tenner on the tome
To keep it neatly shelved at home
So leave out all that bloody foam –
Reading in the bath
Yes give me bed, or couch, or train
Or boat, or car, or aeroplane
Such things don’t cause me half the pain
Of reading in the bath…
