[GBW] amazing paste lyrics

[Eric Alstrom <eric.c.alstrom@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Leave it to our esteemed Guild Archivist, Barbara Kretzmann to find the
words to Amazing Paste.  Thanks, Barbara!  The walls of my lab are already
echoing with the sweet refrain of this binding spiritual!


AMAZING PASTE

    Amazing paste, how smooth it is
    that came from out o' that jar;
    How mar-ve-lous it is to stick
    a page that once flew free.

    'Twas late one night I mixed it up
    and left it to cool 'til dawn;
    Then got out brush and masking strip,
    to pages set upon.

    Amazing paste, it saved the day,
    and brushed out smooth and fine!
    The client will be so happy
    with books of such fine design.

    Amazing paste, how smooth it is,
    it saved three books for me;
    and it took no more than a minute's mix
    to turn out smooth, lump-free...

    Amazing paste, how fine it is,
    that came from out o' that jar,
    How mar-ve-lous it is to stick
    the page which once flew free
