Librarian

[Verse 1]

Walk across the courtyard towards the library

I can hear the insects buzz and the leaves 'neath my feet

Ramble up the stairwell into the hall of books

Since we got the interweb, these hardly get used

[Verse 2]

Duck into the men's room, combin' through my hair

When God gave us mirrors, He had no idea

Lookin' for a lesson in the periodicals

There, I spy you listenin' to the AM radio

[Verse 3]

Karen of The Carpenters singin' in the rain

Another lovely victim of the mirror's evil way

It's not like you're not trying, with a pencil in your hair

To defy the beauty the good Lord put in there

[Refrain]

Simple little bookworm

Buried underneath

Is the sexiest librarian

[Chorus]

Take off those glasses

And let down your hair for me

[Verse 4]

So I watch you through the bookcase, imagining a scene

You and I had dinner, spendin' time, then you sleep

And what then would I say to you, lyin' there in bed?

These words, with a kiss, I would plant in your head

[Verse 5]

What is it inside our heads that makes us do the opposite

Makes us do the opposite of what's right for us?

'Cause everything'd be great and everything'd be good

If everybody gave like everybody could

[Refrain]

Sweetest little bookworm

Hidden underneath

Is the sexiest librarian

[Chorus]

Take off those glasses

And let down your hair for me

Take off those glasses

And let down your hair for me

[Outro]

Simple little beauty, heaven in your breath

Simplest of pleasures, the world at its best
