03 Hanging Out With Heroes at the Library, Detectives

In 2007 Oklahoma celebrated its statehood centennial. That same summer the Kansas reading theme was "Get a Clue." I combined the two themes on this CD with five songs about mysteries and five songs about Oklahoma history.

Many different versions of this song exist, and I'm always adding new verses. This version was written for the 2007 "Get a Clue" summer reading theme.

You can use this free "Karaoke" recording of the song to sing along with all the different versions of "Hanging with Heroes."

Hanging Out With Heroes at the Library, Detectives Version - song lyric

Chorus:
It’s a foot stomping rope swinging barrel of fun
There’s something in a book for everyone
To make your heart pound faster and your eyes pop out
And get you so riled up you just gotta shout
That the hero of the story is the one you wanna be
I love hanging out with heroes at the library!

This diminutive detective always takes the case.
He leaves a note for his mom, then he’s off on the chase.
His clever dog, Sludge, helps him search for clues.
At times he finds he’s stuck and doesn’t know what to do.
Then a pancake snack sets him thinking straight.
Solve a mystery at the library with Nate the Great.

Repeat Chorus

He's a noble-hearted canine and an old cowhand.
He gets no appreciation for protecting his land.
As the head of ranch security his life's on the line.
Sneaking up and jumping on a porcupine.
If something goes awry, he’s the cowdog to thank.
Making rounds at the library with good ol' Hank!

Repeat Chorus

Criminals in Idaville are caught every time
By a sneaker-wearing weapon in the war on crime
Put a quarter on his can, he'll be your private sleuth.
He always sees the clues he needs to get to the truth.
Can you pick up the answers where they’ve been laid down?
Think about it with Encyclopedia Brown

Repeat Chorus

The most talented detective in River Heights
She loves to take the case whenver trouble ignites
Her very best girl friends George and Bess
Are always glad to help her score another success
She’ll tackle any situation just to Get a Clue
Launch a new investigation with Nancy Drew

Repeat Chorus
If you're looking for me let me tell you where I'll be
I'll be hanging out with heroes at the library
I said I gotta shout about it from the top of every tree!
I'll be hanging out with heroes at the library
