Title: Librarian Lyrics

Yep, yours is better Bakerfall.  I'm deleting mine.  But still, I'm glad to see that Jim was able to work "Interweb" into a song.

Mine are pretty close to yours, just a couple changes


Walk across the courtyard
Towards the library
I can hear the insects buzzing
Beneath my feet

Ramble up the stairwell
Into the hall of books
Since we got the interweb
These hardly get used

Duck into the men's room
Combing through my hair
When god gave us mirrors
He had no idea

Lookin for a lesson
In the periodicals
There I sigh and listen
To the AM radio

Karen of the Carpenters
Singing in the rain
Another lovely victim
Of the mirrors  
either way

It's not like you're not trying
With a pencil in your hair
to live (tutored?) by the beauty
That you long for in there

Simple little bookworm
buried underneath
Is the sexiest librarian

Take off those glasses
And let down your hair  
for me

So I watch you through the bookcase
Imagining a scene
You and I at dinner
Spending time then we sleep

What then would I say to you
Lyin there in bed
These words with a kiss
I would plant in your head

What is it inside our heads
That Makes us do the opposite
Makes us do the opposite
Of what's right for us

Cause everythin'd be great
And Everything'd be good
If everybody gave
Like everybody could

Sweetest little bookworm
Hidden underneath
Is the sexiest librarian

Take off those glasses
And let down your hair
For me

Take off those glasses
And let down your hair
For me

Simple little beauty
Heaven in your breath
Simplest of pleasures
The world at its best

At the very end of Librarian, you can hear the first few seconds of Smokin From Shootin. Damn I want to hear this set!! Librarian is growing on me everytime I listen to it. Beautiful, beautiful song.
