Librarian's Blues
2:43
This is a blues song about . . . well, listen to the lyrics. As a lark I wrote this song about overdue library books. Maybe only librarians can relate. Written, performed, sung, and played by Keith Johnson. But don't blame me. The "B-B-B-Bad to the Bone" reference is from a George Thorogood song of the same name. I do play a little non-librarian, non-blues music on the side. We call ourselves "Celtic Cat & Prairie Dog" and you can find out more about this at: http://www.celticcatprairiedog.com

"Librarian's Blues"
(Bring us back our books)
by Keith Johnson
[scene opens with a man holding a guitar and wearing a harmonica rack, speaking directly to the camera]
KEITH: Hi there, YouTubers. I have a stupid, inane, original song that will have limited appeal to most people ... or, I guess, limited appeal to anybody other than librarians, of which I happen to be one.
[he starts to play]
KEITH: It's about overdue books ...
[he plays to the tune of "Bad to the Bone"]
Bring us back our books!
The ones that you took
Bring us back our books
Ya dirty little crooks!
We know that you got 'em
And that is a sin
We're not gonna be happy
Till you bring 'em back again!
Second verse!
Same as the first!
Bring us back our books
Ya dirty little crooks!
Bring us back our books!
The ones that you took
We know that you got 'em
And that is a sin
We're not gonna be smilin' happy
Till you bring 'em back again!
I say "B-O-O-K-S"
Some of ya know what that spells!
Books, books
Buh-buh-buh-buh-books!
Buh-buh-buh-buh-books!
Buh-buh-buh-buh-bad!
I'm mad to the bone!
I'm muh-muh-muh-muh-mad!
I'm mad to the bone!
Not really ...
Don't be scared
I'm just a librarian,
A librarian who cares.
