Don't Look I'm Making a Book - song lyric
by Monty Harper and Mr. Billy
Her dad got up one Saturday
And went to check on Evalyn
He found her in the middle of
A scrap heap on her bed
And when she saw him at the door
She dove to cover something up
He asked her what she had to hide
She turned around and said
Chorus:
Don't look, don't look
I'm making a book
My illustrations are colorful creations of
paper and glue
And my story is so clever
This is gonna be the best book ever
I'll bet you can't wait till I'm ready to read it to you!
By afternoon her floor was piled
With pencil stubs and paper balls
She cut and wrote and wadded up
She worked all through the night
And every time her parents came
With trays of food or beverage
They heard a repetition of
The words she would recite
Repeat Chorus
On Monday morning six o’clock
Her mother came to wake her up
The door was blocked from opening
By an eight foot paper wall
She ran to dial 911
The firemen chopped the door away
All day they dug for Evalyn
But never heard her call
Repeat Chorus
Evalyn’s parents were sobbing for fear she might never be found
The firemen dug into the night without taking a rest
Then one joyful shovel broke through to the cavity under her desk
A pale face peeked out, and voiced this request:
Repeat Chorus
