Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you start your journey into movement's art
There's a library waiting to help you start
Guest wrote the textbook, fourth edition's best
Labanotation's bible will guide your quest

[Chorus]
Five books to know, five books to learn
Movement notation, page by page we turn
Guest and Laban, Newlove too
Lawrence joined to see you through
Five books to know, your learning crew

[Verse 2]
Your Move's the beginning, Guest made it clear
New approach to movement, perfect to start here
Accessible language, concepts that flow
Building your foundation before deeper you go

[Chorus]
Five books to know, five books to learn
Movement notation, page by page we turn
Guest and Laban, Newlove too
Lawrence joined to see you through
Five books to know, your learning crew

[Verse 3]
Laban wrote the theory in Mastery of Movement
Foundational knowledge for your improvement
Understanding space and time and flow
The father of the system we've come to know

[Chorus]
Five books to know, five books to learn
Movement notation, page by page we turn
Guest and Laban, Newlove too
Lawrence joined to see you through
Five books to know, your learning crew

[Bridge]
Laban for All makes it simple and bright
Newlove and Dalby shed accessible light
Effort and Economy, Laban's second tome
With Lawrence beside him, you're never alone

[Verse 4]
From beginner basics to advanced technique
These five companions have the answers you seek
Guest guides your notation, Laban shows the way
Newlove makes it friendly, Lawrence helps you stay

[Final Chorus]
Five books to know, five books to learn
Movement notation, page by page we turn
Guest and Laban, Newlove too
Lawrence joined to see you through
Five books to know, they'll carry you
Five books to know, your learning crew

[Outro]
Build your library, stack them high
With these five books, you'll learn to fly
In Labanotation's world so bright
These authors guide you toward the light
