I am thankful for...shushing
I wrote this song a while back, and have been saving it for a special occasion like THANKSGIVING! It was inspired by my first experience shushing a patron, a girl who was yakking away very loudly on her cellphone in the middle of the main floor of the library. I had to banish her to the foyer.
I used this "The Office" music video to help me write new lyrics for the song. Please imagine me dancing just like Michael Scott as you read.
Shushin' Back
I'm bringing shushin' back.
These little patrons don't know how to act.
I heard a ringtone, what's behind your back?
And none of that now while you're in the stacks.
Take it to the foyer.
[Bridge]
Chatty babe,
You see these glasses?
Baby, act your age.
You better watch it if you misbehave.
Library's not where you act this way.
Take it to the foyer.
[Chorus]
Come here, girl.
(Go ahead, get shushin' it.)
Come to the stacks.
(Go ahead, get shushin' it.)
VIP.
(Go ahead, get shushin' it.)
Just like Dewey.
(Go ahead, get shushin' it.)
Let me see what you're shushin' with.
(Go ahead, get shushin' it.)
Look at those lips.
(Go ahead, get shushin' it.)
Don't crack a smile.
(Go ahead, get shushin' it.)
Go ahead, child.
(Go ahead, get shushin' it.)
And get your shushin' on.
(Go ahead, get shushin' it.)
Get your shushin' on.
(Go ahead, get shushin' it.)
[6X]
Get your shushin' on.
I'm bringing shushin' back.
These little patrons don't know how to act.
Some peace and quiet are the things we lack.
Cause you're acting up, you better shut it fast.
Take it to the foyer.
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Get ready! [3X]
I'm bringing shushin' back.
Hey little patrons, watch while I attack.
If that's your cell, you better watch your back.
Cause you'll get a shush from me, and that's a fact.
Take it to the foyer.
[Chorus]
Get ready!
{record scratch, music stops}
SHHHHHHHHHHH!
Get ready!
{record scratch, music back for end of song}

I'm thankful for Kelly and our blog.
I'm also very thankful for Kelly and for our blog. I'm also thankful for the phrase "Take it to the foyer." If we had a foyer, I would sing that to my cell phone obsessed patrons.
Kelly, I love you and your songs. They never fail to put a smile on my face. I agree Katie, I love the phrase "Take it to the Foyer." Too fucking funny!
