Bio De Melvil Lyrics by Melvil Dewey

Deweylicious! Library Hip Hop

2011

[Chorus]
Biography, my life story
Sung with yours truly, Melvil Dewey
Crank up the volume and listen up
Melvil Dewey's gonna tell you how he grew up, what?
Biography, my life story
Sung with yours truly, Melvil Dewey
Crank up the volume and listen up
Melvil Dewey's gonna tell you how he grew up, what?
[Verse 1]
Born in New York, 1851
Knew early on, I would be a librarian
And a rapper too, who knew?
Library hip-hop, woop woop!
Went to school, studied really hard
Graduated and then got a job
Columbia University
A chief librarian, baby!
At the young age of 21
I invented the Dewey Decimal System
It changed libraries forever
Modern libraries, I'm your poppa
First library school, I'm the founder
New York Library, I'm director
But that's not all to my résumé;
I started the one and only ALA!
[Chorus]
Biography, my life story
Sung with yours truly, Melvil Dewey
Crank up the volume and listen up
Melvil Dewey's gonna tell you how he grew up, what?
Biography, my life story
Sung with yours truly, Melvil Dewey
Crank up the volume and listen up
Melvil Dewey's gonna tell you how he grew up, what?
[Verse 2]
Melvil Dewey, that's my name
And yeah, I'm in the library hall of fame
But enough about me, let's talk about you
What's your story? What you wanna do?
Everybody has a biography
And what you do in life makes up the story
Just live your life to the best you can
Do what you love, that's what I did, man!
Follow your heart, never look back
Except if you see a good book in the stacks
Remember to smile and always laugh
'Cause life is great, and don't forget that!
Melvil Dewey will always live on
Through the Dewey Decimal System
And you will too, so make history
Be unique and don't forget to... read!
[Chorus]
Biography, my life story
Sung with yours truly, Melvil Dewey
Crank up the volume and listen up
Melvil Dewey's gonna tell you how he grew up, what?
Biography, my life story
Sung with yours truly, Melvil Dewey
Crank up the volume and listen up
Melvil Dewey's gonna tell you how he grew up, what?
