Arthur's Songbook

Library Card Song
spacer

Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.

Come on inside,
We've got everything you need.
There's plenty to do,
Or you can just sit and read.

This book explains
How to make paper planes.
This contour map
Can show you mountain range terrains

Fly to the moon,
Explore the ocean floor.
Find out which one's the tiller,
And which one is the oar.

Here's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"
And "Half Magic."
"Hop on Pop," "The Fox in Socks"
And books on doing card tricks!

Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
(That's right!)
Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.

Books on baseball,
Hockey and soccer
And even how to build yourself
A cool doorknocker.

I could stay in this place
For hours and hours.
I like books with pictures
Of lotsa pretty flowers...
Being crushed by a giant pterodactyl.

Jules Verne, HG Wells,
And Ray Bradbury:
You can take 'em home
So you don't have to
Read 'em in a hurry.

Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.

Paintings by Leonardo, Rembrandt,
And Picasso
Confidentially, I'm reading
"Go, Dog, Go."

There's "The Giving Tree" and "Jumanji"
And "Where the Wild Things Are"
And a book on why you shouldn't
Keep your brother in a jar.

All the thoughts and dreams of people
Throughout history
And all you need's this little card
To borrow 'em for free!

Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.

There's story time
And lessons on how to use computers,
But there can't be any classes
On how to make me cuter.

Puppet shows and movies,
The cool things never end.
And don't forget,
The Dewey Decimal System is your friend.
Who's Dewey?

And don't forget,
The Dewey Decimal System is your friend.
Who's Dewey?!

Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Who's Dewey?!!

Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Who's Dewey?!!!

Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Having Fun...
Who's Dewey?!!!!!
