Dewey Decimal System – Lyrics

Lyrics – Dewey Decimal System

By: Daniel Joseph Duey

Verse 1
You say you don’t know what type of material you like to read,
well what do you talk about during the day? Let me see, do you talk
about dragons flying over your head, wishing you can take a potion
and just throw it on them? Do you believe vampires are your friends?
That shine like diamonds when the sun rises and covers their skin? Or
have you ever thought your teacher was an alien? Maybe son, naw, I’m just
a baby of the 80′s son. But if you love fantasy, Fiction is what you need
to read, whether it’s Judy B. Twilight or Lord of the Rings. Fantasy
is fiction do you know what I mean, any book that’s made up
or it’s make believe. So when you’re in..

Chorus 1
Advisory time to read see me looking right at you
Say you like to read but I don’t see a book at your desk,
need a clue what to do when you’re in the library
use the Dewey Decimal System
Find a book, check it out, throw it in the bag
Find a book, check it out, throw it in the bag
Find a book, check it out, throw it in the bag
Throw it in the bag but don’t forget to bring it back

Verse 2
Non-Fiction written words to get facts. Read the Secret then
live your life like that. And if you like that, then you might like
this check a book out all about Quantum Physics, dig it.
Other non-fiction written real life true accounts, events
anything that’s real is non-fiction, like a book about the life
I live, or a big about my wife and kids, a book on how to
get rich, a book about the music biz, a book about yachts
and cruise ships. Non-fiction, about as real as it gets, non-fiction
all the things you see me doing.

Chorus 2
Advisory time to read see me looking right at you
Say you like to read but I don’t see a book at your desk,
need a clue what to do when you’re in the library
use the Dewey Decimal System
Find a book, check it out, throw it in the bag
Find a book, check it out, throw it in the bag
Find a book, check it out, throw it in the bag
Throw it in the bag but don’t forget to bring it back

Verse 3
What’s the Dewey Decimal System you’re asking?
Books organized into ten main classes. That’s organized
into a hundred divisions, that’s organized into a thousand sections,
and decimals create a way to make it for infinite selection and if
your library gots a computer connection, type in the book your looking
for, for better direction and find your book in a second. Check it,
check it out, throw your book in the bag, throw it in the bag,
throw it in your bag or in your backpack, like you have plenty
homework in math but don’t forget to bring it back.

Chorus 3
Advisory time to read see me looking right at you
Say you like to read but I don’t see a book at your desk,
need a clue what to do when you’re in the library
use the Dewey Decimal System
Find a book, check it out, throw it in the bag
Find a book, check it out, throw it in the bag
Find a book, check it out, throw it in the bag
Throw it in the bag but don’t forget to bring it back
