	“I’ve got a piece of plastic shaped like a rectangle,
	It fits in your pocket or it might just dangle
	Next to your keys, it’s next to my heart
	There’s nothing quite as great as my library card

	They’re got book in covers and discs in cases
	Helpful people and good hiding spaces 
	And the key to it all, I’ll mention it twice
	It’s my li-library card card and it’s so niiiice

	It’s my library card
	In Spanish you say, “tarjeta” 
	And this card is gonna get ya’ everything under the sun.
	
	‘Cause life would be so hard, yeah life would be so hard.
	Without my library card.”
