Move A Little Bit Closer

To the tune of Come a Little Bit Closer, the 1964 hit by Jay Black 
and the Americans

Dedicated to Gail B.

THE SCENE: Any place where books are sold in the US, UK, Canada or 
Australia/NZ. The date: June 21, 2003

In a little strip mall just the other side of a Border's
I was waiting there standing in line for Rowling's new "Order"
`Cause I wanted to read Harry
But the line was stationary
And I knew, yes, I knew it's past five, 
I'll be here all day, yeah

Move a little bit closer
All you in this queue
So slow and so long
Move a little bit closer
I'm way back here
Can't we all move along?

The line started to lurch
And my legs, they felt so exhausted
So I then couldn't assist
When the guy behind me just lost it:
"I should've got it from Amazon,
Soon each copy will be gone!
Yes, I knew that this queue I should skip
But my kids all cried on, yeah!

"Move a little bit closer
All you in this queue
So slow and so long
Move a little bit closer
Where's a cashier?
Can't we all move along?"

When Book Six comes out
Perhaps in '04 if we're lucky
We will all come back here
In a line stretching clear to Kentucky
It's a ritual we'll gladly obey 
For Canon a small price to pay 
But as we wait in line
You will hear us whine and pine....

"...Move a little bit closer
All you in this queue
So slow and so long
Move a little bit closer
We've waited all year
Can't we all move along?"
