lyrics

We all know the lion statues
Of the library
Protectors of the knowledge held inside
But if you scratch the right one
Just behind the ear
Blue eyes show you where the secrets lie

Catnyp came to life one night
Along with all the Pages
Paper dolls with flat and inky smiles
The Pages bring the books to you
Day and night, two by two
But Catnyp tells the mice just what to find…

Battles or Biography
Muggles or geography
Step just right and you will see
A cat caught in a library
Waterfalls of history
Of truth and archeology
Of magic and of mystery
The Hidden Library….

In the windows you’ll see lantern light
Drifting through the night
For midnight is the busiest of hours
The Fair folk are calling books
Of Life and death and dreaming
And the love that every blackened heart desires

Catnyp is the search engine,
The stone card catalog
And his results come out as mice and rooks
And if you find the right one
The mice will tell you stories
Of everyone who’s ever held their book.

Battles or Biography
Muggles or geography
Step just right and you will see
A cat caught in a library
Waterfalls of history
Of truth and archeology
Of magic and of mystery
The Hidden Library….

Goblins in the Reading Room
Mint grows in the rugs
Salamanders in the lamps
Pixies keep the coffee mugs
Dwarven maidens make the tea
And make the garden grow
But Catnyp keeps the naughty ones
Frozen faces all in a row

As Pages fly the stacks hum softly
Songs long forgot
And to their voices Catnyp always smiles
For when no one is looking,
He prowls into their keep
To preen and purr and join their song a while

Slip through the cracks, behind a door
Or backwards through an archway
And bring along a treat fit for a cat
Mind your manners, and quiet, please
And never go into the stacks
Or you might find yourself scolded by a magic marble cat….

Battles or Biography
Muggles or geography
Step just right and you will see
A cat caught in a library
Waterfalls of history
Of truth and archeology
Of magic and of mystery
The Hidden Library….
