Shouting in the Library -

Thank you for speaking quietly

And please enjoy our wide variety

We’ve just raise our late fees to update our database

Good luck finding anything thing it’s like a wild goose chase

The Dewey system works and it’s what we use here

Its based upon decimal and is quite clear

No need to get excited — please calm down sir

You can leave a suggestion in the box if you prefer

Cause we’re — shouting in the library

And we’re — getting flack from Rosemary

You may think that it’s a contradiction

But we’ll sing and dance near the science fiction

All the people shout:

«Gum drops, silly string, wall street journal

Hula hoops, skip-its, popcorn kernel

Talking teddy bears and sucking down some squeeze-its

Little Debbies under table hoping no one ever sees it

huge encyclopedias in the reference section

you can’t check em out but they have a nice selection

The little film strips on the reel to reel players

And it’s all financed by the friendly taxpayers

Can you please ask your friends to get off the tables?

The kids are having story time and can’t hear their fables

This is your last chance, I’ll revoke your library card

That’s ok, I don’t have one, I’ve already been barred

Cause we’re — shouting in the library

And we’re — getting flack from Rosemary

You may think that it’s a contradiction

But we’ll sing and dance near the science fiction

All the people shout:

«Gum drops, silly string, wall street journal

Hula hoops, skip-its, popcorn kernel

Talking teddy bears and sucking down some squeeze-its

Little Debbies under table hoping no one ever sees it

huge encyclopedias in the reference section

you can’t check em out but they have a nice selection

The little film strips on the reel to reel players

And it’s all financed by the friendly taxpayers
