Kimya Dawson - The Library Lyrics
Where better to go with a two-year-old who gets cabin fever when it'sRaining cold?Or you could just chill out, no whistles and bells, and read everything by... ,..., and wellsWe could color with crayonsWe could put together puzzlesWe could read about triumphsWe could read about strugglesYou could be a wizardI could be a muggleWe could sit in the rocking chair and snuggle! (Chorus)The library, the libraryIs the perfect place for meThe library, the libraryYou can hang out all day and it doesn't cost a penny! The library, the libraryIs the perfect place for meThe library, the library, It's such a big part of our community! You could check your emailYou could check out booksYou could take things homeOr just sit and lookAt magazines, computer screens, There's books on tape, there's dvds! There's people there who are readyTo help you find the things you need! There's fiction, non-fiction, and new releases! My heart broke into a million little piecesWhen I walked in that day and saw the sign that saidYou'd be closed for a really really long timeDesk was made into a makeshift shrine, Checked out all your artwork and I added mine! (Chorus)The library, the libraryIs the perfect place for me, The library, the library, You can hang out all day and it doesn't cost a pennyThe library, the libraryIt's such a big part of our communityThe grass was heavy! with dewey decimalsWhen I woke up that morning my fingers trembledAs I reheated my coffee in the microfish, waved goodbye to youuuNow here's a greeting card for your catalogAs we start these few chapters of your autobiographyTwo months without you was two months too longWe're so happy you're back we wrote you this song! (Chorus)The library, the libraryIs the perfect place for me, The library, the library, You can hang out all day and it doesn't cost a pennyThe library, the libraryIs the perfect place for me, The library, the libraryIt's such a big part of our community'Scuse me, hi, this library's groovyAnd I always like the book version better than the movie!
