Gimme Serials
As promised, here is my newest song. It's inspired by academic libraries, and by whatever commercial that is that uses "Gimme Shelter". I guess it's not a very effective commercial, because I have no idea what it's for. I just know I keep hearing "Gimme Shelter", and once the chorus was stuck in my head the parody seemed obvious.
Okay, enough talk. Let's rock and roll!
Gimme Serials
(apologies to the Rolling Stones)
LIBRARY PAGES:
OoooOOOOooooh,
OoooOOOOooooh.
OoooOOOOooooh,
OoooOOOOooooh...
STUDENT:
Oh, this course is threatening,
My G.P.A today.
If I don't read some serials,
Oh yeah, I'll get a failin' grade.
LIBRARIAN:
Oh, patron, it's just a shelf away,
It's just a shelf away.
Oh, patron, it's just a shelf away,

For an essay due today.
Where do ya keep the journals?
'Cause I've lost my way.

If you need help, students, then just you ask away,
Then just you ask away.
Then just you ask away.
Then just you ask away.
Then just you ask away.
Ask away, ask away, yeah.

All hail queen Kelly!
Kelly, what are you doing in the librarianing business?
And now Scorsese has to come to you for that song!
