Intro
Rory has a book to bring
And a map with picture things.
Verse 1
No word signs are in the park.
Pictures help him find his mark.
Fountain first, red bridge comes next,
Then a book sign ends the quest.
Chorus
Look at the map, follow in order.
One picture leads to another.
Fountain, bridge, then book-sign clue.
Pictures show the way to you.
Verse 2
Rory taps each picture found.
Crosses where the bridge is red.
Behind the final book sign waits
A little table and return box.
Final Chorus
Look at the map, follow in order.
One picture leads to another.
Rory brings the book back right.
The picture map made every step bright.
Outro
One, two, three—the trip is through.
A simple map can guide us too.
