10 degrees and getting colder has about 260 words from WORD.

200 songs

Roughly 52,000 words

(but Yarmouth has 519 words...and many GL songs are long..so its more than 52,000 words but certainly not over 100,000)

I am currently reading Master and Commander by Partick Obrien. Each page has about 370 words times 411 pages is 152,440 words. What is average for a book ...who knows.

Well there you have it. But the numbers are not exact.
