There's a genre of music And I just might lose it If you keep giving dirty looks It's far from overrated You'll find yourself rereading a thousand times The plotlines are complicated It's not about six-packs or sparkly hot guys Soon you'll be joining fan sites And saving up money for conventions Do you think we would, in vain Give a childrens book this much attention? You're not too awesome to love it And you're just too cool to throw such hissy fits So stop being a jerk And stop being a pretentious bitch
