Lyrics

[00:13.948] Where better to go with a two-year-old who gets cabin fever when it's raining cold?
[00:18.419] Or you could just chill out, no whistles and bells, and read everything by hand with books and wells
[00:23.289] We could color with crayons, we could put together puzzles
[00:25.742] We could read about triumphs, we could read about struggles
[00:28.060] You could be a wizard, I could be a muggle
[00:30.429] We could sit in the rocking chair and snuggle
[00:33.081] The library, the library
[00:35.303] Is the perfect place for me
[00:37.639] The library, the library
[00:40.141] You can hang out all day and it doesn't cost a penny!
[00:42.593] The library, the library
[00:44.744] Is the perfect place for me
[00:47.163] The library, the library
[00:49.648] It's such a big part of our community
[00:54.612] You could check your email
[00:55.612] You could check out books
[00:56.797] You could take things home
[00:57.931] Or just sit and look
[00:59.149] At magazines, computer screens
[01:01.451] There's books on tape, there's DVDs!
[01:03.936] There's people there who are ready
[01:06.155] To help you find the things you need!
[01:08.640] There's fiction, non-fiction, and new releases!
[01:10.992] My heart broke into a million little pieces
[01:13.477] When I walked in that day and saw the sign that said
[01:15.813] You'd be closed for a really, really long time
[01:18.582] Desk was made into a makeshift shrine
[01:20.590] Checked out all your artwork and I added mine!
[01:23.192] The library, the library
[01:25.461] Is the perfect place for me
[01:27.829] The library, the library
[01:30.181] You can hang out all day and it doesn't cost a penny
[01:32.662] The library, the library
[01:34.931] Is the perfect place for me
[01:37.399] The library, the library
[01:39.817] It's such a big part of our community
[01:47.307] The grass was heavy! with dewey decimals
[01:49.337] When I woke up that morning my fingers trembled
[01:51.755] As I reheated my coffee in the microfish, waved goodbye to you
[01:56.242] Now here's a greeting card for your catalog
[01:58.760] As we start these few chapters of your autobiography
[02:01.395] Two months without you was two months too long
[02:03.715] We're so happy you're back we wrote you this song!
[02:06.199] The library, the library
[02:08.452] Is the perfect place for me
[02:10.837] The library, the library
[02:13.272] You can hang out all day and it doesn't cost a penny
[02:15.724] The library, the library
[02:17.943] Is the perfect place for me
[02:20.395] The library, the library
[02:22.713] It's such a big part of our community
