What I'm All About

DISCLAIMER: I'll do this ApologetiX-booklet style and give you footnotes so you'll know what I'm referring to. Enjoy!

WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT

To the tune of "What We're All About" by Sum 41 (from the Spider-Man soundtrack)

Nobody else spends any time reading?
Well, I don't really care; more books I'm getting!
Get the best ones I see, I just can't resist them!
I read one every day, they're like a little vacation!
I read about disasters
And Anne's dragon masters*
And planetary battles with lightsabers and blasters
I've read LaHaye's version of the end of the world**
And Peretti's fight between angels and a demon horde***
You sit around watching every single football game?
Sorry, but I find the NFL completely lame!
Hated P.E., but loved to sit down
At school and read about whatever I want!
There's so many at my library!
I read so much, some think it's scary!
I'll enjoy a book while my pizza is bakin'
Then, after I eat, I go right back to readin'

CHORUS 1:
Books! They're what I'm all about!
They're all that and more!
You should check 'em out!
(REPEAT 3x)

"Have you seen the newest film?" That's what people love to say!
Now, you can watch them in more than one way!
I love films that have action and/or are funny
And, I'm also a little bit DCOM* crazy!
Yes, I admit it; I'm a big movie fan!
Love ones like Daddy Day Care or X-Men!
But sometimes I like childhood throwbacks!
It's my personal way to bring the '90's back!
Superhero films are a great feast for the eyes!
Other great films can make you laugh and then cry!
When they animate completely with CG,
The entire film can keep me engaged!
Yes, I do always use some self-control
When I see the rating, I know when to say no!
Still, often to the library or MovieStop I go!
I say, "Hey, that came out? I didn't even know!"

CHORUS 2:
Films! They're what I'm all about!
They're all that and more!
You should check 'em out!
(REPEAT 3x)

(GUITAR SOLO)

Well, I love my music, it feels so good to my ears
There's no better sounds anywhere that I can hear!
And, I've been collecting music for about ten years!
iTunes Music Store has some awesome deals!
Take a look at this disc, this new mix I'm makin'
It's got both TobyMac and Michael Jackson!
Play it loud, and shake my entire bedroom!
Around the neighborhood, you can hear the bass boom!
Don't ask me why I like what I like!
I like various things, entertainment of all types
Whether it's on printed pages or discs!
I don't even care if it was a big hit!
Spider-Man I'm watchin', reading the Thoenes*!
I like it all, books, music and movies!
So, if giving me a gift is what you want
To do, then you need to think of...

Tunes! They're what I'm all about!
They're all that and more!
You should check 'em out!

Books! They're what I'm all about!
They're all that and more!
You should check 'em out!

Films! They're what I'm all about!
They're all that and more!
You should check 'em out!
