Chorus
There's something going on at the library
It's a mystery, it's a mystery
There's something going on at the library
Go there if you dare and see - it's a mystery!

Verse 1
It was shocking and frightening, his head full of lightning
With his kite and key there stood Benjamin Franklin
He looked out through his bifocal lens
And said, "Welcome to the library, friend."

I was hardly through blinking, when standing there thinking
In a stovepipe hat I saw Abraham Lincoln
He was talking 'bout the war comin' on
He said, "Something here is terribly wrong."

Pre-Chorus
I checked thе encyclopedia to confirm my wildest fеars
These two men had been dead and gone for more than 100 years
So what were they doing here?

Chorus
There's something going on at the library
It's a mystery, it's a mystery
There's something going on at the library
Go there if you dare and see - it's a mystery!

Verse 2
Now I swear I'm not braggin', I heard someone say "Tag," and
When I turned myself around there stood a 40 foot dragon
She said, "Welcome to my treasure trove
Pick out anything you want to take home."

Well, I looked over the scene - so many colorful things
Then my eye fell on the pegasus, a horse with two wings
And he said, "You can take me out for a ride
But you'd better bring me back on time."

Pre-Chorus
Someone's imagination thought these creatures up long ago
Yet here stood were in front of me just as plain as my big toe
Tell me, how can it be so!

Chorus
There's something going on at the library
It's a mystery, it's a mystery
There's something going on at the library
Go there if you dare and see - it's a mystery!

Verse 3
It was exciting and shocking, all those animals talking
There were dinosaurs with pompadours and skeletons walking
I began to take a good look around
Every shelf held something new to be found

I saw tornadoes and blizzards and witches and wizards
And deep in a volcano, some guitar playing lizards
I met gold medal olympic stars
And little lost men from Mars

Pre-Chorus
Now I know I saw everything I said, but I imagine you don't believe
You may say it's all in my head, still it feels so real to me
Don't ask me how it can be!

Chorus
There's something going on at the library
It's a mystery, it's a mystery
There's something going on at the library
Go there if you dare and see - it's a mystery!
