| Death Eaters in Disguise (from GoF, Chap. 9) (To the tune of Ghost Riders In The Sky) The Death Eaters were marching on a warm and cloudy night We never were arrested we escaped the prisoner's plight So Muggleborn be wary cause the enemy is nigh Or we might turn you upside down and float you in the sky Yip-i-ya-a, Yip-i-ya-o, Death Eaters in disguise And as my schoolmates rushed on by I called on them by name If you want to save your friends from us, you'd best get out of range So keep that bushy head down as from us you must fly Or you'll be with the Robert’s a-floating in the sky. Yip-i-ya-a, Yip-i-ya-o, Death Eaters in disguise The Ministry is busy, Malfoys have them in a sweat They're working hard to catch our lot, but they ain't caught us yet When all at once the Dark Mark like a green and starry skull Appeared amidst the ragged skies and terrified us all Yip-i-ya-a, Yip-i-ya-o, Death Eaters in disguise The tents were still on fire as I back to camp did steal Could You Know Who have made a comeback, could it all be real? A bolt of fear went through us and it stilled our drunken cries We're You Know Who supporters, but we hid behind our lies Yip-i-ya-a, Yip-i-ya-o, Death Eaters in disguise. |
| If You'd Just Let Me Explain... (from Chap. 19, PoA) (To the tune: If I Only Had a Brain, from The Wizard of Oz) THE SCENE: The Shrieking Shack. Present: Harry, Hermione, Ron, Scabbers, Lupin, Black, Snape and Crookshanks SIRIUS I was not the secret keeper, I pawned it off on Peter For which I am to blame I thought he could be trusted but instead he got me busted If you'd just let me explain. I admit I am compulsive, obsessive and impulsive, And diagnosed insane Though you think I'm a bad guy, I am innocent, not that guy If you'd just let me explain. Oh I, can tell you why, I broke Ron's leg in two And cut up his curtains with a knife, I only wanted Pettigrew I would not be just a nothin', a fugitive stud muffin, My heart all full of pain. Life would be a ding a derry, I'd be taking care of Harry If you'd just let me explain. LUPIN Oh, I couldn't be a lone wolf A go-it-on-your-own wolf My sanity to preserve. Led my friends to Animagic Risking outcomes worse than tragic Guess we had a lot of nerve. I'm afraid there's no denyin' to Dumble I've been lyin' My job I don't deserve But I could have told the truth, all about my misspent youth, If I'd only had the nerve SIRIUS and LUPIN So we implore you, Snape, Don't let this dirty rat escape He's Peter Pettigrew Don't let him flee to You Know Who SNAPE When Neville in fine fettle, destroys another kettle, I just tear him apart. You'd be over-presumin' that I could be kind-a human If I only had a heart. If I'm tender or I'm gentle- they'll think that I've gone mental It's better not to start It's The Kiss for Black and Lupin 'Cause these children they've been dupin' I don't buy their crazy story And it's time I had some glory And the Merlin decoration I deserve SIRIUS: Then I won't get to explain... HARRY: And I'll never get a home... HERMIONE: If he only had a heart... SIRIUS: A brain... SNAPE: What nerve! HERMIONE, HARRY and Ron disarm SNAPE and knock him out. |
| All The DADA Teachers (To the tune of Eleanor Rigby) Professor Quirrell Wearing a face that he hid in a purple chapeau How could we know Hearing him stutter Who would have guessed that his quest was to rip off the Stone He's not alone… All the DADA teachers Where do they all come from All the DADA teachers They never last too long Gilderoy Lockhart Tended to shirk at the work but he dressed with a flair Setting his hair Look at him posing He'd have left Ginny to die in the basilisk's lair What did he care Hopeless Hogwarts teachers Where do they all come from Hopeless Hogwarts teachers Where do they all belong Remus J Lupin Drove a Dementor away when it came through the door Gave it what-for Gentle and caring Always supportive except when lycanthropy hit He had to quit Ah! What a sad and lonely creature! Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Alastor Moody Locked in a trunk while his job was usurped by a punk Even the clunk! Barty was smirking Menacing Snape in the night knowing Harry was there Setting a snare All the phony teachers Where do they all come from Phony Hogwarts teachers In Azkaban belong Fleur Delacour One of her sex Is in line for the job that is hexed She could be next Old Arabella It might be she, I agree, but I don't think it can, Her name won't scan Three more DADA teachers Where will they all come from? Three more DADA teachers Till I can end this song.. |
