Lyrics

When I was just a baby, before I could speak
I would line up all my letter blocks alphabetically
Now it's my vocation and my passion to a sign
Every decimal numbered shelf to every decimal numbered spine
I'm a librarian, I'm a librarian
And I like it quiet so the pages can be heard
I'm a librarian, I'm a librarian
And I do it for the love of the word
I bring order out of chaos
I shine light into the dark
Because power comes from knowledge
Just like fire from a spark
And like Gutenberg and Luther
With press and pen in hand
I take the message to the masses
In a form they understand
I'm a librarian, I'm a librarian
And I like it quiet so the pages can be heard
I'm a librarian, I'm a librarian
And I do it for the love of the word
When the day is over, I go home at 5:03
And I give thanks to God and to Andrew Carnegie
And the US Constitution
And Orwell, Poe, and Twain
And I'll return at 8 AM to open up again
I'm a librarian, I'm a librarian
And I like it quiet so the pages can be heard
I'm a librarian, I'm a librarian
And I do it for the love of the word
I'm a librarian, I'm a librarian
I'm a librarian, I'm a librarian
I'm a librarian, I'm a librarian
I'm a librarian, I'm a librarian
