I'd sit alone and watch your light
My friend is paper today's night
I read my paper in my school
I think it's very very cool

And on the page of number one
I read so more about my town
On the second page I see the news
The best of paper you must use

The gils and boys, we must cry
Please cry with me in the sky
I think you must read magazines
If you do this you'llknow more things.
