Thank you for submitting the form
Written by Pete Broeder and performed by the River Bound Band, this song was performed live for the Kick-Off event of Summer Reading on May 16th, 2015.
Verse 1:
I checked out a book
Right away I got hooked
An adventure on the open sea
A harpoon would stick in the side of Moby Dick
At the Kirkwood Library
Chorus:
Oh, they call it the Kirkwood Library
And you can take it from me
It’s a great place to know your brain will learn and grow
At the Kirkwood Library
Verse 2:
I read about Eeyore
Tigger, Rabbit, Owl and more
There was a honey jar and lot of bees
It had Kanga & Rue and Winnie the Pooh
At the Kirkwood Library
— Chorus —
Verse 3:
Monster stories are my thing
Frankenstein and Stephen King
I read them anxiously
I must declare, they really make me scared
I get ’em from the Kirkwood Library
— Chorus —
Verse 4:
I like green eggs and ham
My name is Sam I am
I even like them in a tree
There’s a fox on the loose, someone call Dr. Seuss
At the Kirkwood Library
— Chorus —
