Lyrics

I used to lie awake late at night
Questions running round in my mind
Were there ever pirates here? Did they bury treasure near?
Could there still be treasure to find?

I used to pester my mom.
I was a never-ending question machine.
Why were mummies mummified? What did pyramids hide inside?
What do Egyptian hieroglyphs mean?

My mom said you should look for a good book to help you to

Get a clue! (Become a biblio-sleuth)
Get a clue! (In your pursuit of the truth)
Get a clue! (Be where you need to be)
Get a clue at your library!

I used to grumble at TV shows
When the information felt incomplete.
They just said a carnotaur was a vicious carnivore
So what kind of meat did he eat?

I used to bug my best friend.
I was a question-popping pain on the bus.
Will we ever walk on Mars? Is there life among the stars?
Are they out there signaling us?

My friend said you should look for a good book to help you to

Get a clue! (Become a biblio-sleuth)
Get a clue! (In your pursuit of the truth)
Get a clue! (Be where you need to be)
Get a clue at your library!

Now I still pester my poor mom
Whenever questions pester me.
But these days I’ve been asking her
for a ride to the library.
I found books about mummies, carnataurs,
and the lives of a pirate crew.
If you have questions, check it out!
You’ll be glad you decided to

Get a clue! (Become a biblio-sleuth)
Get a clue! (In your pursuit of the truth)
Get a clue! (Be where you need to be)

At your library you can

Get a clue! (Become a biblio-sleuth)
Get a clue! (In your pursuit of the truth)
Get a clue! (Be where you need to be)
Get a clue at your library!
