FRBR this and FRBR that and FRBR once again, It's been a long, long time. RDA's been coming since we don't remember when; It's been a long, long time. Now at last the JSC says they'll deliver, Every cataloger's heart will start to quiver — Now we're all relational, so FRBRize me dear, It's been a long, long time — It's been a long, long time!
