Aesop Rock - The Library lyrics

[Verse 1: Kimya] 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 hand with books 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 [Hook: Kimya] 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 [Verse 2: ] 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! [Hook: Kimya] 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 Is the perfect place for me The library, the library It's such a big part of our community [Verse 3: Kimya] The gra** 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 you 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! [Hook: Kimya] 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 [Verse 4: Aesop Rock Excuse 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 noobie! Where can I find all the Bloom comma Judy? [Spoken, play?] Hey where are all the Judy Bloom books, anyway? Well, some of her books are in the juvenile section (uh-huh) and some of them are in the young-adult section (okay), and some are even in the adult section! (wow!) All of the fiction books are arranged alphabetically by the author's last name. (oh..) Are you really looking for books just by Judy Bloom, or..are there any particular..[interrupted] I guess I'd be open for suggestions Sarah do you have any suggestions?

[Hook x2:] 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!
