[Chorus]
Hi! My name is Melvil Dewey! Nice to meet ya, how you doin'?
If you need info, you know where to go, go to your library!
Hi! My name is Melvil Dewey! Nice to meet ya, how you doin'?
If you need info, you know where to go, go to your library!
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time in Library Land I was looking for information, man!
Couldn't find it anywhere. Books scattered everywhere!
Books over here, books over there, books everywhere! Man, I swear!
So I said, "There needs to be organization in the library!"
Use numbers, one two three And name that system after me!
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
My Dewey Decimal System Classifies information, son
My Dewey Decimal System Organizes information, son
My Dewey Decimal System Is so very easy to use
My Dewey Decimal System Here is what you got to do!
