Library Boy: lyrics & streaming audio

 LIBRARY BOY

Words & music by Debbie Ridpath Ohi / Short URL for sharing: http://bit.ly/LibraryBoy

Here's a home recording with Jodi Krangle on vocals and me on MIDI guitar (if you like Jodi's vocals, do check out her Voiceoversandvocals.com site!). This was a surprise birthday gift from Urban Tapestry to our librarian friend, Rand Bellavia, in April 2002. We don't tend to perform this in public anymore.

I've included chords and lyrics below in case anyone wants to cover this. If you do, I'd love to know!

C                                                F    G

I am a civilized girl, I comb my hair, I love family

C

but I confess my very favourite refuge is my local

F        G

library.

F                            G

The musty bookshelves are so picturesque

F                           G               C     C

But most of all I like the guy behind the desk.

--

CHORUS:

F        C

Hey, Mr. Library Boy, please wontcha

F                                 C

show me a little Heinlein or some Leo Tolstoy

F                          C

You don't know I exist but you have my heart

G

Wontcha stamp my card?

--

C  C

C                                                     F   G

The way you put away books, the way you always articulate

C                                

The way you gimme a look when I talk too loud, it makes my poor heart 

F       G

palpitate

F                          G

When I go home, the world loses its zest

F                                 G               C    C                    

Can't wait 'til I get back to the guy behind the desk.

--

CHORUS

--

C                                                       F  G

I've got a tendency to keep books 'til they're way overdue

C          

I get the notices but it's been six years, where's my special

F           G

visit from you?  

F                            G

   You smile at me and I can't help but obsess

F                           G               C   C

how I'd like to catalog the guy behind the desk.

        

--

CHORUS

--      

 

        BRIDGE/END:

                C                       F                       C   C

        Oh Mr. Library Boy, by now you surely know I'm not a newcomer

                  C                             F

        So baby, let's not be coy, I'd like to get your

                             C      C

              Dewey Decimal Number

  F                            G

I try but nothing I do will make me forget

F                            G               C -------

My passion for that special guy behind the desk.
