I could write a blog. I have thoughts.

Life at the library, adventures with friends and other hysterics...

The Ballad of Bibliophiles - Parody #10

The Ballad of Bibliophiles
Written by CK
To the tune of "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle"

Just sit right back
And you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started through this library
With books it was equip.

The associate was a literate man,
The director brave and sure.
Five visitors came in that day,
For a three hour tour,
A three hour tour.

They started to get excited,
When they heard there was no cost.
If not for the funding of the tax payers
The library would be lost.
The library would be lost.

They went all over our four floors
Lots to choose in every aisle
With Valerie,
And Tracy too,
And Pat Leach director,
With Scott Clark,
Miss Charlotte and Jeff Tangeman,
Here with bibliophiles.



eye roll facepalm over it the professor dawn wells

Original Lyrics - The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle

Just sit right back
And you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this tiny ship.

The mate was a mighty sailin' man,
The Skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day,
For a three hour tour,
A three hour tour.

The weather started getting rough,
But the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost.
The Minnow would be lost.

The ship set aground on the shore
Of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan,
The Skipper too.
A millionaire and his wife,
A movie star,
The professor and Mary Ann,
Here on Gilligan's Isle.

Holiday Laminate - Parody #9

Holiday Laminate
To the tune of “Holiday” by Madonna
Written by Tracy

Holiday Laminate
Holiday Laminate

[Chorus:]

If we took a holiday
Took some time to laminate
Pictures, bookmarks and signs
It would be, it would be so nice

Everybody spread the word
We’re gonna do some lamination
All across the libraries
For every patron
It’s time for protection
Forget about torn pages, oh yeah
One day to come together
And make pages last forever
We need a holiday

[chorus]

You can turn this thing around
And bring back all of those happy days
Put torn pages down
It’s time to laminate!
It will shine
Really shine
The plastic comes together
And makes things better
We need a holiday

[chorus]

Holiday Laminate
Holiday Laminate

[chorus]

Holiday Laminate
Holiday Laminate

Holiday, Lamination
It’s protection for all the patrons


 


Original Lyrics

Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

[Chorus:]

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice

Everybody spread the word
We're gonna have a celebration
All across the world
In every nation
It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together
To release the pressure
We need a holiday

[chorus]

You can turn this world around
And bring back all of those happy days
Put your troubles down
It's time to celebrate
Let love shine
And we will find
A way to come together
And make things better
We need a holiday

[chorus]

Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

[chorus]

Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

Holiday, Celebration
Come together in every nation

It's Your Fine - Parody #8

It’s Your Fine
To the tune of “He’s So Fine” by the Chiffons
Written by CK

Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang
Do-lang, do-lang

It's your fine
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Broke the spine
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Checked out a book
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Dropped it in a brook
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
I don't know how you did it
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
You tripped over a rock
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
It would be for your benefit
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
To learn how to walk
(Do-lang, do-lang)
You're not a soft spoken guy
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Definitely not shy
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Makes me wonder if I
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Call a supervisor should try
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)

But then I know you can't yell
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Can't yell at me forever
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Not at this decibel
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
But it feels like forever
(Do-lang, do-lang)
It's your fine
(Oh yeah)
Gonna draw the line
(Oh yeah)
Sooner or later
(Oh yeah)
I hope it's not later
(Oh yeah)
You're gonna have to pay
(Oh yeah)
For that book about ballet
(Oh yeah)
I just can't wait, I just can't wait
For you to pull your wallet out

You're not a king
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
So get off your throne
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
You won't do anything I've asked
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Anything but moan
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)

For it's your fine
(Your fine)
Your fine
(Your fine)
It's your fine
(Your fine)
Your fine
(Your fine)
It's your fine
(Your fine)
Oh yeah
(It's your fine)
It's your fine

Original Lyrics

Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang
Do-lang, do-lang

He's so fine
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Wish he were mine
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
That handsome boy over there
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
The one with the wavy hair
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)

I don't know how, I'm gonna do it
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
But I'm gonna make him mine
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
He's the envy of all the girls
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
It's just a matter of time
(Do-lang, do-lang)

He's a soft spoken guy
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Also seems kinda shy
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Makes me wonder if I
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Should even give him a try
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)

But then I know he can't shy
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
He can't shy away forever
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
And I'm gonna make him mine
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
If it takes me forever
(Do-lang, do-lang)

He's so fine
(Oh yeah)
Gotta be mine
(Oh yeah)
Sooner or later
(Oh yeah)
I hope it's not later
(Oh yeah)
We gotta get together
(Oh yeah)
The sooner the better
(Oh yeah)
I just can't wait, I just can't wait
To be held in his arms

If I were a queen
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
And he asked me to leave my throne
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
I'll do anything that he asked
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)
Anything to make him my own
(Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang)

For he's so fine
(So fine)
So fine
(So fine)
He's so fine
(So fine)
So fine
(So fine)
He's so fine
(So fine)
Oh yeah
(He's so fine)
He's so fine
