The Library
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
And I always like the book version better than the movie!
But I need a little help 'cuz I'm totally a n00bie!

There's stuff for teens and senior citizens
There's stuff for young-adults and middle-agers,
'Nuff stuff for all of us to get lost in the pages!
(Chorus x2)
