Going on Down to the Library



Based loosely on Tom Chapin's Library Song on his Moonboat, opens a new window cd- here's our version used for closing.
Going on down to the library (pretend to walk to library)
Picking out books (pretend to pick out books)
Check 'em in (point with both hand forward)
Check 'em out (point of shoulders with thumbs back)
Gonna say hi to the dictionary (wave)
Picking out books
Check 'em in
Check 'em out.
Going on down to the li--- shhhhh (put finger to lips-- whisper the rest of the verse)
Picking out books,
Check 'em in
Check 'em out!

Variation: I'm Going Down to the Library


I'm going down to the library,
Picking out a book, check it in, check it out.
Gonna say hello to the story lady, (Hello!)
Picking out a book, check it in, check it out.
