F G The musty bookshelves are so picturesque F G C C But most of all I like the guy behind the desk. CHORUS: F C Hey, Mr. Library Boy, please wontcha F C show me a little Heinlein or some Leo Tolstoy F C You don't know I exist but you have my heart G Wontcha stamp my card? C C C F G The way you put away books, the way you always articulate C The way you gimme a look when I talk too loud, it makes my poor heart F G palpitate F G When I go home, the world loses its zest F G C C Can't wait 'til I get back to the guy behind the desk. CHORUS: F C Hey, Mr. Library Boy, please wontcha F C show me a little Heinlein or some Leo Tolstoy F C You don't know I exist but you have my heart G Wontcha stamp my card? C F G I've got a tendency to keep books 'til they're way overdue C I get the notices but it's been six years, where's my special F G visit from you? F G You smile at me and I can't help but obsess F G C C how I'd like to catalog the guy behind the desk. CHORUS: F C Hey, Mr. Library Boy, please wontcha F C show me a little Heinlein or some Leo Tolstoy F C You don't know I exist but you have my heart G Wontcha stamp my card? BRIDGE/END: C F C C Oh Mr. Library Boy, by now you surely know I'm not a newcomer C F So baby, let's not be coy, I'd like to get your C C Dewey Decimal Number F G I try but nothing I do will make me forget F G C ------- My passion for that special guy behind the desk.
