Shifting! Shifting!
The books from row to row
We grab and pass
And pass and place
So the shelves’ll not overflow!
We shift on 3 We shift on 5
Good Dewey, be our Master
Turning the library upside-down
While Roland says “Please, go faster.”
I am the grabber, my paws are wide
I grab seven books at a time
They make me sneeze by their dusty hides
Whether fiction, reference, or true crime!
Shifting! Shifting!
The books from row to row
We grab and pass
And pass and place
So the shelves’ll not overflow!
We shift on 2 We shift on 4
Good Dewey, be our Master
Turning the library upside-down
While Roland says “Please, go faster.”
Me, I’m the passer, from ye t’thee
My arms spread about like a seagull
I try to keep pace peripherally
My givin’ and takin’ be equal!
Shifting! Shifting!
The books from row to row
We grab and pass
And pass and place
So the shelves’ll not overflow!
We shift on one We shift on all
Good Dewey, be our Master
Turning the library upside-down
While Roland says “Please, go faster.”
True, I be the placer, the last in line
I have the sharpest vision
Keep’em in order, that duty be mine
And measure with cardboard precision!
We shift We shift We shift We Shift
Between our games of chess
I’ll Grab!
And I’ll Pass!
And I’ll Place!
And I’ll Grab!
For how long? Well, it’s anyone’s guess!
The books are stacked and carts are oiled
Except for the ones with the wheels
Take yer places! Prepare to shift !
Let’s earn our extra meals!
