Mission Possible: Spy a Book!

Mission Possible: Spy a Book!

Words and Music by Joe McDermott

One day a super spy snuck over to me
He was on a mission of the utmost secrecy
He was secretly searching for something new
School was out he had nothing to do
He saw the book in my hand and said, “Aha, a clue!’

I said “Mr. Spy, this is your lucky day.”
“I know a not so secret place, and it’s not so far away”
“You’ll see it’s not a mystery, come on and follow me.”
Then I led him to the Library

And I said…
You don’t need a telescope, all you need are eyes
You don’t need a magnifying glass or a super secret disguise
You’re on a mission to find adventure and I know where to look
Your mission is possible – Spy a book

He inspected every corner and every shelf
He got a library card and a stack of books taller than himself
He hid those books under his cloak, disappeared in a puff of smoke
But by my feet he left a note

It said…
You don’t need a telescope, all you need are eyes
You don’t need a magnifying glass or a super secret disguise
You’re on a mission to find adventure and I know where to look
Your mission is possible – Spy a book
Your mission is possible – Spy a book

We learn as we grow,
there's a lot we don't know --
Mission possible, open a book!

There's a lot to be learned about Earth as it turns --
Mission possible, open a book!

Information and codes, secret agents, hidden roads
For adventures you'll never forget,

Spy a book! Look! Pick it up! Check it out! At the library!

Try a Mission that's possible! READ! READ! READ!
Try a Mission that's possible! READ! READ! READ!

Spy a book! Look! Pick it up! Check it out! At the library!
