I’m warming up for tomorrow, so here’s a quick song for all of the cheerleaders (Romantics, Transcendentalists, Post Modernists and the Lost Generation) who will be cheering y’all on during the read-a-thon:

People think we’re not r-r-real (Talkin’ ’bout The Lost Generation)
Just because we can’t cartwheel (Talkin’ ’bout The Lost Generation)
But we’re here to cheer for you (Talkin’ ’bout The Lost Generation)
Cause we got nothing else to do (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)

We’re the Lost Generation
We’re the Lost Generation, baby

Why don’t you all just go read (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)
While we leave cheers with speed (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)
We’re not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)
We’re just the cheerers of the Lost G-g-generation (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)

We’re the Lost Generation
We’re the Lost Generation, baby

Those Transcendalists think they’re all that (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)
But they can’t pull a rabbit out of a hat (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)
And the Po-Mos cause much frustration (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)
I’ll be stickin’ with my Lost Generation (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)

We’re the Lost Generation
We’re the Lost Generation, baby

I almost forgot the Romantics (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)
Wouldn’t want them to be all frantic (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)
Now you know all the teams (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)
If you listen you’ll hear our s-s-s-screams (Talkin’ ’bout the Lost Generation)

Gertrude Stein gave us our name (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
And that Alice, her brownies weren’t tame (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
They would’ve dug the read-a-thon (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
So we’ll be cheerin’ til the dawn (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)

We’re the Lost Generation
We’re the Lost Generation, baby
