The librarian gave me a look.
I knew that she was thinking
about my overdue library book.
I took it out over three months ago
and I haven't returned it yet.
Don't ask me where I put it,
cause it seems that I forget!
It was eaten by an alligator,
it dis appeared into the fog
Mama put it in the refrigerator
and my brother fed it to the dog
It was abducted by an alien
I have to pay a big fat fine
if I don't find that book real soon
Gotta find that book real soon
Oh man, where did I put it?
It's not under the sofa cushion.
Maybe I left it at Jenny's house.
She would have called me by now.
I don't mean to be dishonest,
I don't mean to tell a lie
And I don't mean to tell a tall tale,
If you'd give me a few more days,
I'm sure that I'd remember
Cause it was eaten by an alligator
It disappeared into the fog
Mama put it in the refrigerator
And my brother fed it to the dog
It was abducted by an alien
And taken off to the moon
I have to pay a big fat fine
If I don't find that book real soon
Gotta find that book real soon
See there was this monster
No, it was a green hairy monster
and he said, Give me your book.
Has this ever happened to you?
Tell me, tell me, what did you do
when your book was overdue?
Did you see the lost library book blew?
Uh, well, you see, I put it near the toaster
Yeah, it melted. well, that was awful.
I finally found that book
under my sister's bed one day.
I took it back and shoveled
for the fine I had to pay
Cause if you lose a library book,
you'll be singing a song like me
It was eaten by an alligator,
it dis appeared into the fog
Mama put it in the refrigerator
and my brother fed it to the dog
It was abducted by an alien
I have to pay a big fat fine
if I don't find that book real soon
I gotta find that book real soon
I gotta find that book real soon
