Lyrics: Monty has written many verses to this song - you might want to try adding your own.
(Chorus:)
It's a foot-stompin', rope-swingin' barrel of fun!
There's something in a book for everyone
to make your heart pound faster and your eyes pop out!
It'll get you so riled up you just gotta shout
that the hero of the story is the one you wanna be!
I love hanging out with heroes at the library!
This diminutive detective always takes the case.
He leaves a note for his mom, then he's off on the chase.
His clever dog sludge helps him search for clues.
At times he finds he's stuck and doesn't know what to do.
Then a pancake snack sets him thinking straight.
Solve a mystery at the library with - Nate the Great. (Chorus)
She's got the wildest red hair and her clothes are berserk.
This teacher takes the mystery out of how things work.
Her little lizard Liz always accompanies us
On impossible trips on a magic school bus.
Her hands-on approach gives science a sizzle.
Take a field trip to the library with - Miss Frizzle. (Chorus)
He's the reason all the criminals in Idaville
can be found downtown at the county jail.
Put a quarter on his can, he'll be your private sleuth.
He always sees the clues he needs to get to the truth,
and this ten-year-old detective brings the bad guys down
with brains instead of brawn, he’s - Encyclopedia Brown! (Chorus)
She was swept away from her Kansas home
to a very strange land where she felt all alone.
She took a yellow brick road to seek a wizard's help.
She made three new friends and caused a witch to melt,
and I'll bet you if you asked old Dorothy,
she'd say there's really no place like the library! (Chorus)
If you're lookin' for me, I’ll tell you where I'll be -
I'll be hanging out with heroes at the library.
I've got to shout about it from the top of every tree -
I love hanging out with heroes at the library!
