Songs in books rule, and the only people who complain about them are tone-deaf losers who can't imagine a melody

Ohhhh---
(With a big band brass section rising up behind him, now)

I'm the chap who can't stand to read songs,
The chap who can't stand to read songs,

I'll whinge and I'll moan--dont say i'm alone!
I'm the chap who cant STAND to read songs!

(With chorus)
Dont care if yer black or yer white,
you cant tell me that im not truly right!

Theres a song every page,
it just fills me with rage!

Let me tear up this Volume in spite!

Oh the chap who just hates songs in books,
the chap who just hates songs in book!

I can handle yer dumb dirty looks,
I'm that chap who just hates songs in books!!!

What's the problem, Anon? It's just a

Rag-a-muffin' life
To pull-you-through-that strife
Ain't nothin' to joke,
But if you'll only just smoak
Then maybe it'll be all-right?

[Chorus]
But that (oh)
Full-some pre-tentio-si-ty
That fills your -- thoughts, with me-diocri-ty
It's just (hey!)
Holdin' you back
If it would give you some slack
You might 'preciate ver-bosity

[Neckbeards and shitposters amble in, tripping over each others' feet; an unrealistically proportioned nude male of color begins gyrating his hips in an animated fashion, drawing one's eye--and yes, the Anons' as well!--toward the pendulous 'pendage which describes major arcs at pelvic-level. A passing /pol/lak, copy of The Culture Of Critique in hand, pauses to gaze 'pon the sight, salivating involuntarily]

[James Joyce:] There's!
[Joseph McElroy:] Nothing quite wrong
[Vladimir Nabokov:] With!
[Herman Melville:] Puttin' a song
[John Williams:] 'Midst suf-fer-ing and gran-deur
[William Gaddis:] And if you'll just
[Virginia Woolf:] Follow a-long
[Gene Wolf:] You might find yourself drawn
[All:] Into a world that doesn't pander

THE PENIS HE THOUGHT WAS HIS OWN
(lead tenor): 'Twas the penis, he thought-was, his own--
Just a big playful boy of a bone...
With a stout purple head,
Sticking up from the bed,
Where the girlies all played Telephone--
(bass): Te-le-phone....
