While I was at the front desk of a library
I hear someone chewing gum as loud as they can, I heard it now
Just then some boy was whistling to the tune of Dexter's Lab
A couple of girls came here and talk about Hannah Montana very loud

Then some guys are being chased by a hall monitor tracking them down
Tried to hide someplace else, just fairly quietly

Shut up! Shut up!
Please remain silent
I don't want to hear some crap, some worthless awkward crap
Coming right out of your mouth, don't you dare try to say that to me
One important thing I'd say... shut up!
I won't hear you complain

The very next day, when my cell phone just started to ring this time
My cousin Larry called me, he wants to come over to my house Friday night
As I hang my cell phone then I get back into the library
Now I've heard some boys bullying at each other and they're putting up a fight

Now I'd rather tell those guys to get out of here, unless I would say
Something that will pipe them down, and the hint was just two words

Shut up! Shut up!
Please remain silent
I don't want to hear your thoughts, your ugly nasty thoughts
Coming right out of your mouth, this stuff I'm hearin' might catch my ear
All I need to say to you... shut up!
I won't hear you complain

Shut up! Shut up!
Please remain silent
I don't want to hear some crap, some worthless awkward crap
Coming right out of your mouth, don't you dare try to say that to me
One important thing I'd say... shut up!
I won't hear you complain
