We Are Librarians

I've been struggling with a showtune parody for some time, which may or may not eventually come together. But I wanted to get at least one more song in before graduation, and decided that it would be nice to write something that was actually in honor of graduation. The following came together pretty quickly...which is good, since I wrote it when I was supposed to be working.

We Are Librarians
(apologies to Queen)

I've paid my dues,
Time after time.
I've paid tuition,
Yes, every last dime.
Exam mistakes,
I've made a few.
I've had my share of late nights and headaches,
But I've come through.

(And we mean to go on and on and on and on…)

We are librarians, my friends.
And we'll promote reading 'til the end.
We are librarians,
We are librarians,
No time for losers,
'Cause we are the librarians…of Madison.

I've taken my classes,
In spring and in fall.
You've taught me cataloging and everything that goes with it,
I thank you all.

Now I’ve put on my glasses,
And sensible shoes,
I’m gonna work providing information services,
And I ain't gonna lose!

(And we mean to go on and on and on and on…)

We are librarians, my friends.
And we'll promote reading 'til the end.
We are librarians,
We are librarians,
No time for losers,
'Cause we are the librarians…of Madison.
