You've said questionable things,

SLMA,

About library hours,

You've had a lot to say.

But you hide behind Joe,

And the Union News,

Now you've got to come out

And pay your dues.

So we want to debate you

Any old place,

You name it, we'll be there,

Just show us your face.

A train, a train,

Would you like to debate us

On a train?

If that's your preference,

Say it plain,

And we will see you on the train.

Would you,

Could you,

On TV?

Or how about radio,

What will it be?

You do not want to,

We bet you'll say,

But try it, try it,

And you may.

Cause wherever it is

You will plainly see

That democracy in action

Is where to be.

You can speak the truth,

You can breathe fresh air,

You can stop the scare tactics,

And show you care.

So just say yes

And we'll be there,

We'll debate you anytime,

And anywhere.

On a train,

On a plane,

On the radio, or TV,

Or in a closed library branch,

How would that be?

Or maybe in a forum

In your place of abode,

Which I believe would be Longmeadow,

Just down the road.

Wherever it is,

On whatever day,

Empower the voters,

Is what we say

By debating with us

Up, through, round and down,

On more library hours

For Springfield our town!
