At the Library (A to Z)

At the Library (A to Z) is a song from Between the Lions.

Lyrics

 * A is for Arthur
 * And B is for bears
 * C is for computers-- hey look
 * D is for desks and dinosaurs
 * And the Dewey Decimal System helps you find any book


 * E is for engines, encyclopedia
 * F is for fiction and facts
 * G is for guidebooks and gardening, too
 * H is how-to-books, they even have snacks


 * At the library, the library
 * Get yourself a card and you're got yourself a key
 * At the library, the library
 * It's life A to Z, and it's free


 * I is information and joke books are J
 * K is for Kenya and kings
 * L is for lion and librarian
 * And M is for mysteries and music that swings


 * N is for novels, I love Nate the Great
 * O is for all the Oz books
 * P is for poetry, painting and plays
 * Q is for questions, come on, take a look


 * At the library, the library
 * Get yourself a card and you're got yourself a key
 * At the library, the library
 * It's life A to Z, come and see


 * R is for restrooms and reading rooms, too
 * S is for songbooks, we've got quite a few
 * Typewriters, TVs both start with T
 * And U is unicorns, videos start with V


 * WWW is for World Wide Web
 * X is for xylophone
 * Y is for books about yoga and Yeats
 * There's plenty of help, yeah, you're never alone


 * Bet you you're thinking that Z is for zoo
 * Yahoo, there are zoo books here
 * But have fun with zebras and zebus, too
 * Throw your brain a party and give three cheers


 * For the library, the library
 * Get yourself a card and you're got yourself a key
 * At the library, the library
 * It's life A to Z, come and see (x2)
