The Cat in the Hat says,
"Come on, let's go!"
"Don't take him!" cries Pinnochio.
"Don't take that cat to your address,
He always makes a mess!"

[chorus:]
I'm goin' down to the library,
Pickin' out a book, check it in, check it out.
Gonna say "Hi!" to the dictionary,
Pickin' out a book, check it in,
check it out.

--"The Library Song," Tom Chapin

Oh how we laughed together
Stuck in The Grapes of Wrath together
And we loved each other
Me and Baby Jane

Leon Russell, a song about a college girlfriend who died of an overdose

I get slander, I get libel,
I get words I never heard in the Bible.

--I think it was called "Trying to Keep the Customer Satisfied;" memory from Top 40 radio in the 1970s.
