SHELF MARKER Songs

SHELF MARKER Songs

You put your marker in,
You pull your book right out,
You leave your marker in,
Now will you check it out?
You read a couple pages to see what it's about- Put it back if you're in
doubt.
You put the book back in,
You take your marker out.
You put your marker in,
What's another one about?
Flip through lots of pages and read a little bit- Is this the one that's
going to be it?
You take the book with you.
You take your marker too.
You know it's up to you
To check that book right out.
Now you've got a new book you know you want to read- You know you did a
really good deed!

Version 2 & 3:

You put the marker in
You take the book right out (spoken: and if you don't want that book...)
You put the book back in
And you take the marker out
You do it all again until you find the one you want
That's what it's all about! Shelf markers!

The second verse:
You put the marker in
You take the book right out (spoken: and it IS the one you want!)
You take the marker out
Then you shake it all about
You bring the book to me and then I let you check it out
That's what it's all about! Shelf markers!

Another (similar) version:
"Put your shelf marker in" (pretend to put shelf marker in shelf with
one hand)
"Pull your book out" (pretend to pull book out with the other hand)
"Leave your shelf marker in while you see what the book's about" (use
one hand to pretend to flip through pages of a book held in the other
hand)
"If you like the book, pull the shelf marker out" (pretend to pull shelf
marker out)
"That's what checkout is all about" (turn around and clap).
