Everyday we hear people cry
We’ve got no info, the well’s gone dry
But you’re not sittin’ there, Googlin’ like a fool
‘Cause you have learned the golden rule
Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book!

Most people look in the places they know
Out in the darkness they’re frightened to go
But you’re not stuck there under the light
‘Cause you have learned to find things right
Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book!

Info worth many millions of dollars
Via free access—Yippee! we holler
For access to the right information
Can improve the health of a nation
Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book!

Everywhere we hear people moan
Our library has no books to loan
The Web is full of e-books to read
And to find them all you need….is….to
Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book!

Medline/PubMed, it’s the best
But don’t forget all the rest
No one site has all the resources
That you’ll need for your projects and courses
Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book!

All of you are helping others
Old ones, young ones, fathers, mothers
You can do it better with five search tools
And you're sure to use them, ‘cause you’re not fools
Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book!

WHO has stats galore
DHS has even more
If you need numbers in a hurry
You can get them, don’t you worry
Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book!

Whatever you do, do it smart
Check that evidence before you start
Best-practice guidelines are easy to spot
If you know where they are, and know where they’re not
Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book! Look in the book!
