lyrics

If you wanna be my honey bee
You gotta show some wit and charm
You don't have to be from the Ivy League
If you say the right words when you're in my arms, so

Philosophize me, Socrates me
Write me a sonnet or a song
With some rhetoric and rhyme, It won't take you any time
You'll be me well-read baby from now on, yes
My well-read baby from now on

***

Show me stacks of play in three acts
And darling never will I roam
For the man I'm gonna marry needs a broad vocabulary
I want a well-read baby to call my own, sweetheart
A well-read baby to call my own

***

If you're anything lesser that a tenured professor
You better quote me Emily Dickinson on the phone
'Cause if you're Thomas, Dick or Harry, I hope you own your own library
I want a well-read baby to call my own, yes
A well-read baby to call my own
