Part I[edit]

Everyone: Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.



Ms. Turner: Come on inside,
We've got everything you need.
There's plenty to do,
Or you can just sit and read.



Muffy: This book explains
How to make paper planes.
Arthur: This contour map
Can show you mountain range terrains.



Brain: Fly to the moon,
Explore the ocean floor.
Buster: Find out which one's the tiller,
And which one is the oar.



Fern: Here's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"
And "Half Magic".
Timmy: "Hop on Pop".
Tommy: And "Fox in Socks".
George: And books on doing card tricks! Everyone: Ooooooh!



Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Ms. Turner: That's right!
Everyone: Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.



Francine: Books on baseball,
Hockey and soccer
Mr. Ratburn: And even how to build yourself
A cool doorknocker.



Arthur: I could stay in this place
For hours and hours.
Binky: I like books with pictures
Of lotsa pretty flowers...
Being crushed by a giant pterodactyl.



Arthur: Jules Verne, HG Wells,
And Ray Bradbury:
Francine: You can take 'em home
So you don't have to
Read 'em in a hurry.



Everyone: Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card. Having fun!

Part II[edit]

Everyone: Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.



Prunella: Paintings by Leonardo,
Rembrandt and Picasso.
Mr. Haney: Confidentially, I'm reading...
Everyone: ..."Go, Dog, Go"!



Buster: There's "The Giving Tree" and "Jumanji"
And "Where the Wild Things Are."
D.W.: And a book on why you shouldn't
Keep your brother in a jar.
Arthur: Let me out!



All the thoughts and dreams of people
Throughout history
And all you need's this little card
To borrow 'em for free!
Everyone: Yeah!



Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.



D.W.: There's story time
And lessons on how to use computers,
But there can't be any classes
On how to make me cuter.



Francine: Puppet shows and movies,
The cool things never end.
Ms. Turner: And don't forget,
The Dewey Decimal System is your friend.
D.W.: Who's Dewey?



Everyone: And don't forget,
The Dewey Decimal System is your friend.
D.W.: Who's Dewey?



Everyone: 1! 2! 3!



Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
D.W.: Who's Dewey?



Everyone: Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.



D.W.: Who's Dewey?
Everyone: Having fun isn't hard,
When you've got a library card.
Having fun!



D.W.: Who is Dewey?!?
