I was so excited when I saw the news, I wrote this at work in one 
big goofy burst of emotion.

It's a Book!
to the tune of "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast
dedicated to JKR, naturally

It's a book!
It's a book!
The news is everywhere you look
Read my e-mail when I woke 
And screamed until the windows shook
It's all set, 
It's all done,
It will be June twenty-one
It's official, we all know it, 
>From the rooftops now we'll crow it
Let us sing!
Let us dance!
Let us nitpick in advance!
We will figure out the plot by hook or crook!
We'll go and place our orders
At B&N and Borders
For the book,
Yes the book,
It's a book!

Who will live?
Who will die?
Where and when and how and why?
How we burn to finally learn
If Snape is really gone to spy!
It will be so damn long
But with Jo, you can't go wrong
We'll be staying up for ages,
Plowing through nine hundred pages
We'll review!
We'll discuss!
Over every FLINT we'll fuss
We'll be sitting in our comfy reading nooks
Scholastic has decreed
We'll have a chance to read
The new book!
Take a look!
Every reader it will hook!
It's a book!
It's a book!
It's a book!

It's a book!
It's a book!
Don't complain how long it took
We must know how it will go
And interference we won't brook
We won't pause! We won't stop!
We will read until we drop!
The release date is in sight now
Make no social plans that night now
We will sit in our homes
With our big humongous tomes
And we will not take time off to clean or cook
We know we won't get bored
We'll savor every word
Of the book!
It's a book! 
It's a book!

Life is not exciting 
When the author isn't writing
We've been bereft, with nothing left but Theory Bay
Now we know the big date is approaching
Even though it's still five months away
Three years, we've been waiting
Patiently anticipating
Wanting nothing more than one more book to read
Spinning crazy theories on Yahoo
Sad, depressed and slumping
But today, the joint is jumping!

It's a book!
It's a book!
And our joy can't be mistook!
Will the arc be light or dark?
Will it amuse or will it spook?
It will twist
And surprise
And we'll stay up till sunrise
We'll keep reading
We'll keep going
And the fanbase will keep growing
Line by line
Page by page
We'll enjoy this latest stage
Of the journey that our hero undertook
The time is drawing near
So give a rousing cheer
For the book!
It's a book!
It's a book!
At last, a book!
