Get a Clue
I used to lie awake late at night
Questions running round in my mind
Were there ever pirates here? Did they bury treasure near?
Could there still be treasure to find?
I used to pester my mom
I was a never-ending question machine
Why were the mummies mummified? What did the pyramids hide inside?
What do Egyptian hieroglyphs mean?
My mom said you should look for a good
book to help you to
Get a clue. (Become a biblio-slueth)
Get a clue. (In your pursuit of the truth.)
Get a clue. (Be where you need to be.)
Get a clue at your library.
I used to grumble at TV shows
When the information felt incomplete.
They just said a carnotaur was a vicious carnivore
So what kind of meat did he eat?
I used to bug my best friend
I was a question-popping pain on the bus
Will we ever walk on Mars? Is there life among the stars?
Are they out there signaling us?
My friend said you should look for a good
book to help you to
(Chorus)
Now I still pester my poor mom
Whenever questions pester me
But these days I’ve been asking her
for a ride to the library
I found books about mummies, carnataurs,
and the lives of a pirate crew
If you have questions, check it out
You’ll be glad you decided to
(Chorus)
