Because it needed to be done

CIRC DESK (to the tune of "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha)

Wake up in the mornin' feeling none too merry
Got my Slim-Fast, I'm out the door
Headed for the library
Before I leave, brush my teeth, if I don't forget
'Cause the library patrons, they don't like bad breath

I'm talking tennis shoes on my toes, toes
Plain & conservative clothes, clothes
Sound professional on the phone, phone
Hittin' all of my favorite websites
Enforcing state privacy laws & rights
Knowing I'll be here all... night...

[CHORUS]
Circ Desk, it's grotesque
It'll make you feel depressed
Tonight, I'm-a fight
To stay cheerful and polite
Patrons, like the Huns
And the line is never done, no
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Ain't got a care in the world, I got plenty to read
Ain't got no money in my pocket, but the library's free!
Now the patrons lining up want to haggle and grovel
But I just make them pay their fines and I go back to my novel

I'm talkin' 'bout everybody getting books, books
And using laptops in nooks, nooks
Volume down! We'll give you dirty looks, looks
Now now, they goin' 'til we kick them out, out
And the computers are all shut down, down
Computers all shut down, down
Computers all shut down

[CHORUS]
Circ Desk, it's the best!
Even when you're feelin' stressed
Tonight, I'm all right
Not a patron in sight
Slow days, make displays
Shelve the books from Z's to A's, oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

[BRIDGE]
I hate to work
But I like my job
I can face the mob
They don't faze me
There's the daily jerk
And the daily snob
But it's just no prob
They don't faze me

I hate to work
But I like my job
I can face the mob
They don't faze me
I like my job, I like my job
I like my job

(Yeah, the book club don't start 'til I walk in)

[CHORUS]
Circ Desk, it's the best!
Even when you're feelin' stressed
Tonight, I'm all right
Not a patron in sight
Slow days, make displays
Shelve the books from Z's to A's, oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Circ Desk, it's grotesque
It'll make you feel depressed
Tonight, I'm-a fight
To stay cheerful and polite
Patrons, like the Huns
And the line is never done, no
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Circ Desk, it's the best!
Even when you're feelin' stressed
Tonight, I'm all right
Not a patron in sight
Slow days, make displays
Shelve the books from Z's to A's, oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
