about

You could say We Miss The Library is a song about life during the pandemic. You could say it is a song dedicated to the librarians of the world. You could say the song is a tribute to the late, great Eddie C. Campbell. All would be true.

lyrics

We Miss The Library

Back in The Before Times it was all groovy
My baby said, “the book’s better than the movie”
So we’d go to the library, peruse the stacks
Check out some books, then go for a snack

Nowadays we gotta keep our distance
The library is not there for assistance
Online resources are certainly okay
But we miss visiting the library every day

She used to check out more books than I could carry
My baby and I sure miss the library

Librarians really are an exceptional breed
They take care of our every need
They procure the readings for my baby’s book club
And they’ll tell you to be quiet if you make a hubbub

The library is our favorite place to haunt
Where else can I get my Hegel and Kant?
Heck, our kids grew up in the children’s room
You can’t replace THAT with Zoom!

She used to check out more books than I could carry
My baby and I sure miss the library

We miss the library, that’s a fact
We just can’t wait until we can go back
We miss the library, that ain’t fiction
Got to satisfy my literary addiction

We miss the library, it’s our favorite place
Picking out books just can’t be replaced
We miss the library, that’s good information
Everything you quote needs a citation

She used to check out more books than I could carry
My baby and I sure miss the library

Hey, man, I heard the library is starting pickup service in June
Oh, yeah! That’s not a moment too soon
I think that will be really peachy
In fact, I’m probably gonna stop by and pick up some Nietzsche
