about

The song is a celebration of exploration and curiosity with jazzy vocals and a doo-wop rock 'n roll feel! It features David Durst’s piano and Ayanna Gallant’s fun backing vocals.

lyrics

We’re going to the library, adventure awaits inside
Stories will take us round the world; let’s go on a wild ride
Working our way from A to Z; through every age of history
Words on the pages come to life — imagination’s our guide

You can select a mystery (select a mystery)
A series 'bout a magic tree ('bout a magic tree)
Detectives searching for a clue (searching for a clue)
If that appeals to you (that appeals to me -- wow)

Maybe you're fond of fairytales (I love fairytales)
Nonfiction regarding sharks and whales (You know I love my sharks and whales)
Short stories, fables, poetry (Love to read poetry)
It all sounds good to me (sounds good to me)!

I know that the librarians will always help me out
And if you want to make ‘em happy, please don’t be too loud
Bet you can find a cozy nook, to sit on down and read your book
Just remember to check it out, so they’ll know you’re not a crook!
(Don’t be one of them book stealin’ crooks…)

You can select a mystery (select a mystery)
A series 'bout a magic tree ('bout a magic tree)
Detectives searching for a clue (searching for a clue)
If that appeals to you (that appeals to me -- wow)

Maybe you're fond of fairytales (I love fairytales)
Nonfiction regarding sharks and whales (You know I love my sharks and whales)
Short stories, fables, poetry (Love to read poetry)
It all sounds good to me (sounds good to me)!

When you go to the library, you’ll find some solitude
Seeing everyone studying, get’s you in a learning mood
Walking down those book corridors, you’ll find new topics to explore
So, let’s go to the library, let’s discover new books

Yeah, let’s find ourselves some new books
Oh, I’m gonna find me some books
And, I’m gonna check out those books!

(Wait — did I forget my library card?
Maybe they can look me up in the computer…
Oh — there it is!)
