Can't You Read? A Song by Tiki Mercury-Clarke Tiki Mercury-Clarke is a Thornhill (Ontario) music composer, lyricist, singer, pianist, dancer, actress and journalist. She composed the words and music to this song, which is from the show "The Reading Train." 1. Where's the bargain, what's on sale A notice at the door Some medicine, a can of soup Everything in a no frills store 2. Restaurant menus or the latest board-game How to put together a toy Escalator up or shoe department down And the washroom's for a girl or a boy? 3. Is this plain or is it herbal tea? Just where do I find this sauce? I hope I brought enough money with me 'cause I just can't figure out the cost 4. Is this shampoo for oily hair? Do I add water to this milk? How often must I take this pill? I didn't know that it was made of silk CHORUS: What's the matter can't you read? What's the matter can't you read? I didn't know that the cloth would bleed What's the matter can't you read? How many people will this box feed? What's the matter can't you read? It's taken for granted everywhere you turn That everyone can read That all grown-ups have learned What's the matter can't you read? What's the matter can't you read? What's the matter can't you read? 10 CANADIAN WOMAN STUDIESLES CAHIERS DE LA FEMME FRCM ME SHOW 'THE READING TRAIN" IJDRDS & 'MUSI C BY TI KI ~ R C U R Y ~ L A R K E  BY TI KI !~RCURY-CLARE Conservatory Brand T H E  F R E D ~ R I C L  ~ A R U I ~  MUSIC CO.
