Oklahoma School for the Blind Jazz Group has created a wonderful recording called All About That Braille. It’s a 3-minute celebration of the joys of reading braille!
“All About That Braille” Lyrics by OSB Students
Because you know I’m all about that Braille,
‘Bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, ‘bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, ‘bout that Braille
Yeah it’s pretty clear, I read in grade two
And I use contractions, just like I’m supposed to do.
‘Cause I got those Braille skills that all the kids chase
And all the right tools in all the right places
We read those magazines, and lots books too
We know that transcriptions hard
But we do we do what we gotta do.
If you got Braille Books just raise them up
‘Cause every inch of it is perfect
From the bottom to the top
Yeah, my momma she told me don’t worry about your eyes
She says, kids they like a little more challenge when they learn to write
You know I won’t be no Print reader that uses their sight
So, if that’s what’s you’re into
Then go ahead and move along
Becuse you know I’m all about that Braille,
‘Bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, ‘bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, ‘bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, ‘bout that braille
We’re bringin slate and stylus back
Go tell those print kids that
It’s kinda funny that their not as fast
And I’m here to tell you that,
Every inch of it is perfect from the bottom to the top!
Yeah, my momma she told me don’t worry about your eyes
She says, kids they like a little more challenge when they learn to write
You know I won’t be no print reader that uses their sight
So, if that’s what you’re into
Then go ahead and move along
Because you know I’m all about that Braille,
‘Bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, ‘bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, ‘bout that Braille
Because you know I’m all about that Braille,
‘Bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, ‘bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, ‘bout that Braille
Because you know I’m all about that Braille,
‘Bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, ‘bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, bout that Braille, no print
I’m all ‘bout that Braille, ‘bout that Braille
