Rodney Anonymous wrote the song after a real-life crush on a stern librarian at Delaware County Library System. "She never cracked a smile," he once said in a 1991 interview. "I thought, 'That's the punkest thing I've ever seen.'"
Chorus: Oh Joyce, oh Joyce, the librarian Falling in love with a fantasy Every Dewey Decimal's got a story to tell But none of them are half as sweet as you
Chorus: Oh Joyce the librarian, after hours she's a lady She puts on disco records, and she tries to look like a lady But when the sun goes down, she goes back to her room And she rocks and she rolls, to the soundtrack of her youth
C She stamps the cards with steady hands G D The clock ticks loud and slow G C She dreams of heroes, knights, and thieves G D G In books she'll never know
