lyrics

Hear they're gonna tear down all the libraries
Don't want kids reading so I'm told
Where will the old folks go when it's cold outside?
Where will the young go when they're old?

Can't shut them down if we make the groovy
We've got a plan to get folks hooked
We'll put the fun back into public funded resource
We'll put the 'oo' back into books

Let's go and do it in the library
Let's go and do it by the book (Sss)
Let's go and do it in the library
Let's go and fuck while read...books

In self help books - it's onanism time
The religion section - missionary style
In mathematics - we sixty-nine
We get hot and heavy - like a bibliophile
A bibliophile is a lover of books, said a bibliophile is a lover of books
We'll wear protection - in self-defence
And in the index room - dewey-decimal sex
And in Greek Mythology - it gets fucking intense
And in the children's section - we do not go near the children's section

We've got conservatives and liberals
Idiots and intellectuals
But an open mind's essential in the library

We've got arts and crafts on thursdays
We've got S&M on fridays
But we're sometimes shut on wednesdays - it's a library

We are not afraid to publicise
The paper-cuts between our thighs
You can never privatise the library

So come and join our protest
It's a fucking mental sex-fest
So come dressed up or come undressed to the library

You can get a vajazzle - in interior design
In autobiography - that's where I get mine
In modern drama - we could do it in mime
But come in the books - you'll have to pay a fine
Don't come in the books you'll have to pay a fine
Stop coming in the books it's really not fine

Let's go and do it in the library
Let's go and do it by the book (Sss)
Let's go and do it in the library
Let's go and fuck while read...books
