On My Mind...


Saliva Sisters Encore

(to be sung to the tune of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus)

ILA
What the hey
Party down in Pokeytown
Every year you
Get together
See vendors
Book lenders
Hallelujah
Should you get your MLS
Get paid more
Anyone's guess
And Charles Bolles
Forever and ever  

There's Larry
Almeida
He's cheap
But he's neat-a       

 

Running an institute
For the public
The homeless
Do their laundry
In the bathrooms
Ask for Downey
And Adrien Taylor
Has great ties
Forever

Life won't be
So balmy
If you have
Two mommies

 

Fighting for Intellectual
Freedom
Censorship
Banning Books
And CIPA
Ah -ah-ah-ah
You check in
You check out
Your sanity's
 In doubt

The books you peruse
Wearing sensible
Shoes

 

Senator Dee Dee
Raspberries
Your funding might be cut
Be asked to do more
You will, I'm sure
Adrien Taylor Forever and ever
You're smart and committed
Your suits are
Ill-fitted

Overworked
Underpaid
Stereotype
Is old maid

 

Wear many hats
Circulation
Acquisition
You do all that
Cataloging
And reference
And broken copy machines
Forever and ever
But you're bright
And special
Dewey does your decimals 

Our books
You are carryin'
Everyone loves librarians
