PRAdy Bunch (Spring 2021)
Here’s the story of the Lafayette librarians
Who had to teach and work remotely,
All of them had access to zoom,
To reach all the students
Here’s the story of the Lafayette students
Who were busy writing lots of papers
They were living all together
Yet they were all alone’
Till the one day when the librarian met this student
And they knew that they would find the resources for their paper
That this group would somehow form a team
That’s the way we all became the PRAdy Bunch
The PRAdy Bunch, the PRAdy Bunch
That’s the way we all became the PRAdy Bunch
