[MF]  Easy Reader.  That’s my name.  Uh, uh, uh.

Readin’, readin’.  That’s my game.  Uh, uh, uh.

Top to bottom, left to right,

That readin’ stuff is out of sight.

Easy Reader.  That’s my name.  Uh, uh, uh.

I groove on all the words around.  Uh, uh, uh.

As long as they are written down.  Uh, uh, uh.

[RM]  Readin’s heavy.  Readin’s tough.

He never seems to get enough.

[MF]  Easy Reader.  That’s my name.  Uh, uh, uh.

I’m a readin’ man, and it’s words I seek.

Every word I see, I just gotta speak.

[RM]  He’s a first-class genuine readin’ freak.
