lyrics

NEVER DATE A LIBRARIAN

She dreams in Mills & Boon colour.
She’ll read you cover to cover.
Ideas of romance from a period drama
No sense, no sensibility.

She’s looking over her glasses,
I’d stay away from her kooky ways.
You should never date a librarian.

The knowledge in her fingers,
Her trolley full of best sellers.
She’s got you in her diary (Helen Fielding)
She likes to cast a spell (JRR Tolkien)
She dresses up as you like it (William Shakespeare)
She likes a mystery (Agatha Christie)

She’s looking over her glasses,
I’d stay away from her kooky ways.
You should never date a librarian.

She may be well-read but she’s not well-bred.

The knowledge in her fingers,
Her trolley full of best sellers.
She likes to cook up a scandal (Mrs Beeton)
Her crime, your punishment (Dostoevsky)
You’re in a catch 22 (Joseph Heller)
She likes a mystery (Agatha Christie)

The life she stole from the bookshelf,
She can’t exist as herself.

She’s looking over her glasses,
I’d stay away from her kooky ways
You should never date a librarian.
