lyrics

"Attack of the Maniac Librarian"

I fell asleep while surfing through the Sunday Times
Man, I had a crazy dream
I was at the public library
When a battle-axe swung out at me
It split my periodical in two

The attack of the maniac librarian
Eight foot three, bloodthirsty
and he was chasing me

I tried to wake myself by screaming
but I stopped 'cause he said “Shhh”
Then he swung his axe again

I did not want to fall victim
to Dewey's decimation system
so I ran from Horror to Poetry

The attack of the maniac librarian
He was well-read, but not well in the head
and most likely dead

Thinking quickly, I picked out
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
and I put it with the books on gardening

The maniac ranted and cursed
But he went to re-shelve the book first
and that's when I made my escape from

The attack of the maniac librarian
It was only a dream,
but I won't be borrowing any books for a while
