Library
Bookaneers Hey, Ho! Whaduya know?
We
never run out of new places to go,
and we never wait for the
wind to blow-
We're the Library Bookaneers!
No matter your preference of when or where,
a book can be
captured to carry you there.
We circle the globe and we pay
no fare.
We're the Library Bookaneers!
We rifle a book for the treasure within.
We ransack her pages
from stern to stem,
then leave her for others to plunder
again.
We're the Library Bookaneers!
Hey, Ho! We sail again! Another adventure about to begin!
Hey, Ho! We sail today! Just open a book and it's anchor's aweigh!
Hey, Ho! Whaduya know?
We never run out of new
places to go,
and we never wait for the wind to blow -
We're the Library Bookaneers!
Our sea is
unbounded by compass and map.
We've traveled through wardrobe
and looking glass.
We've raided the future and pillaged the
past.
We're the Library Bookaneers!
We
were the jury at Captain Kidd's trial.
We fought Long John
Silver on Treasure Isle.
We fed Captain Hook to the crocodile.
We're the Library Bookaneers!
Sail away into a
good book.
Determination while you're learning is the oar
that pulls you forward till your sails unfurl.
Sail away into
a good book.
Imagination is the wind that fills your sails
and sends you spinning to another world.
We went
there, we saw it, we did it, we lived it...
Hey,
Ho! Whaduya know?
There're plenty more places we're itchin'
to go,
and we'll never wait for the wind to blow.
We're the Library Bookaneers!
