## Song lyrics

The Masked Retriever (1st)

I am a great librarian, I'm full of information

I know every book on every shelf and every stack

They're here for you to borrow, so come on in and take 'em

But you better keep track...of when it's time to bring them back

'Cause sometimes I become The Masked Retriever!

Hunting down books that are missing, lost or late

The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!

I find them even if they're hiding in another state!

People think librarians are glamorous and stylish

We always look so elegant, we aim to please

Yes, of course, that's true, but it's not the whole story

'Cause I have a secret side...a side that no one ever sees

Yes, sometimes I become The Masked Retriever!

Hunting down borrowers whose books are overdue

The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!

So, don't forget your due date, or I'm coming after you!

That's when I become The Masked Retriever!

Someone's got to do it and that somebody is me

The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!

The bravest, boldest hero that you'll probably ever see

The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!

The bravest, boldest hero that you'll probably ever see!

I Love The Library

The library, the library,

I love, love, love the library

One thing you should know about me,

I love, love, love...the library!

It's a place that's bright and warm

It's a place that's calm and quiet

It's a place where you can read a book and

you don't...have to buy it

The chairs are nice and comfy

The lighting is just right,

any book you want is here

And if I could...I'd stay all night!

I like to read biographies

and scientific theory

There's comic books and cookbooks,

too, and the history of...Lake Erie

I find a book and sit and read

by the light of the tasteful lamp

And if you want to take it home,

I'll stamp it with...my trusty stamp

What if I want a particular book

that's high up on a shelf?

We've got rolling footstools

and you can get it down yourself

And if the book's up really high?

That's no tricky matter,

just come and ask the librarian

and I'll climb my fancy ladder

The library, the library,

I love, love, love the library

You love it just as much as me

We love, love, love...the library!

Going to Get That Book Back/Not Going to Give This Book Back

I'm going to get that book back You're going to get that book

If you think I can't, you're wrong, I'm going to get that book

Someone has not returned it, I know exactly who,

he took it out a long while back and now, it's overdue

It's called *The Case of the Climbing Cat*, it came from the fiction stack,

Don Austin took that precious book And now, I'll get it back!

I'm going to get that book back, I'm going to get that book

Not going to give this book back, I'm going to keep this book

He does just what he wants to and here's the reason why:

he's Viejo, California's most important guy

Giving back this book, well, that's not in my plans,

I think I'd rather keep it here in my important hands

Not going to give this book back, I'm going to keep this book

I said so 'cause I said so, I'm going to keep this book

He may be the richest guy in Viejo, California,

but even he can't break the rules, I mean it, yes, I warned ya

I'm going to get that book back You're going to get that book

I don't care, big shot or not, I'm going to get that book

Not going to give this book back, I'm going to keep this book

We're gonna guard that Don, so he's gonna keep that..

I'm gonna keep that...I'm gonna get that...book!

The Masked Retriever (2nd)

For no one can outrun The Masked Retriever!

I'll stay in hot pursuit on my speedy, trusty horse

The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!

No one can outrun me, including you, of course!

A Happy Ending

Now I'm happy and I have this happy look,

'cause now I've got the time to finish up this book

Hey, Don Austin, I'm glad to let you do it,

you did the right thing, you came here to renew it

I don't have to run off like a bandit for the border

I don't have to worry that my books are not in order...

Looks like we got us a happy, happy ending

It all went down and nobody's sore

Looks like we got us a happy, happy ending

Better than the ending I was picturing before!

Now I'm smiling and here's what it's all about,

when he returns that book, then I can take it out

First did our guarding, but now, we're happy guards,

'cause now that things are settled, our job is not so hard

TI'm so pleased that soon that book will be back in the stacks

We're so pleased that now we can just hang out and relax...

Looks like we got us a happy, happy ending

It all worked out and everybody won

Looks like we got us a happy, happy ending

The best kind of ending when adventures are done!

The best kind of ending when adventures are done!

The best kind of ending when adventures are done, a happy ending!
