Abcd in the library

Abcd in the library

Abcd in the library

V1 Aimee's running round now, she's light on her toes
  She's always busy, there's not much she doesn't know
 

But if you ask a question and she doesn't know the
answer, she'll take a look

  She'll open a computer and search until she finds the
book
  Then she'll place it in your hand, ain't life grand
ABCD in the library
ABCD in the library
V2 Someone had a thought and then wrote it down
  dreamed a purple sky and an upside down town
  Someone mapped the ocean, someone felt a poem,
come in on a breeze
  someone filmed a kiss, and placed it in the library
  You can hold it in your hand, ain't life grand
  ABCD in the library ABCD in the library
BRIDGE   There's budlija and butterflies
  Playdough and babies cries
  How to build and sail a boat
  it's organised, into shelves and aisles
  You can find the remote
V3 Through the open door you can see,
  All of the world and it's mysteries
  You can wear your hat crooked, even wear it inside
  And if you're sleeping rough, it's warm in there
  In the library, you can be free

ABCD in the library 
ABCD in the library
ABCD in the library 
ABCD in the library
ABCD in the library 
ABCD in the library
