Where better to go with a two-year-old who gets cabin fever when it's
|
Raining cold?
|
Or you could just chill out, no whistles and bells, and read everything by
|
... ,..., and wells
|
We could color with crayons
|
We could put together puzzles
|
We could read about triumphs
|
We could read about struggles
|
You could be a wizard
|
I could be a muggle
|
We could sit in the rocking chair and snuggle!
|
|
(Chorus)
|
The library, the library
|
Is the perfect place for me
|
The library, the library
|
You can hang out all day and it doesn't cost a penny!
|
The library, the library
|
Is the perfect place for me
|
The library, the library,
|
It's such a big part of our community!
|
|
You could check your email
|
You could check out books
|
You could take things home
|
Or just sit and look
|
At magazines, computer screens,
|
There's books on tape, there's dvds!
|
There's people there who are ready
|
To help you find the things you need!
|
There's fiction, non-fiction, and new releases!
|
My heart broke into a million little pieces
|
When I walked in that day and saw the sign that said
|
You'd be closed for a really really long time
|
Desk was made into a makeshift shrine,
|
Checked out all your artwork and I added mine!
|
|
(Chorus)
|
The library, the library
|
Is the perfect place for me,
|
The library, the library,
|
You can hang out all day and it doesn't cost a penny
|
The library, the library
|
It's such a big part of our community
|
|
The grass was heavy! with dewey decimals
|
When I woke up that morning my fingers trembled
|
As I reheated my coffee in the microfish, waved goodbye to youuu
|
Now here's a greeting card for your catalog
|
As we start these few chapters of your autobiography
|
Two months without you was two months too long
|
We're so happy you're back we wrote you this song!
|
(Chorus)
|
The library, the library
|
Is the perfect place for me,
|
The library, the library,
|
You can hang out all day and it doesn't cost a penny
|
The library, the library
|
Is the perfect place for me,
|
The library, the library
|
It's such a big part of our community
|
|
'Scuse me, hi, this library's groovy
|
