And dance your final dance
This is your final chance
To hold the one you love
You know you've waited long enough
So, believe that magic works
Don't be afraid
Of bein' hurt
Don't let this magic die
The answer's there
Oh, just look in her eyes
And make
Your final move
Mmm, don't be scared
She wants you to
It's hard
You must be brave
Don't let this moment slip the way
Believe that magic works
Don't be afraid
Afraid of bein' hurt
No, don't let this magic die
Ooh, the answer's there
Yeah, just look in her eyes
And don't believe that magic can die
No, no, no, this magic can't die
So dance, your final dance.
'Cause this is, your final chance

"The Weird Sisters Ain't Got Nothing On Us!"
Hey there, Harry Potheads!
There's this guy at work who's got a band. They've been jokingly calling it Someone Still Loves You Nelson Mandela. Anyway, they scored a gig playing at one of the Harry Potter parties at area bookstores, and I volunteered to help them come up with Potter-centric songs. A few modified covers and two or three original songs. So, if you're going to be in the New York/New Jersey area tonight and have nothing else to do, come on down to the Barnes and Noble on Route 17 in Paramus to watch Baby-Headed Deatheater play one night only.
(I came up with the name. That can now, finally, be marked off the list of things I want to do before I die)
We're on at about 10 so come early and get some funnel cake and you'll be buzzed on sugar and ready to sing along... Wait, what's that, you say, gentle blog reader? You can't sing along because you don't know the words? Well rest easy, little friend. You know ol' Clarkers wouldn't leave you pissing in the wind...
"Muggle People"
She came from France
She had arcane knowledge
She studied magic at Beauxbatons College
That's where I caught her eye.
She told me that she was a pureblood
I said, "In that case can you make bourbon from mud?"
She said, "Fine," and in thirty seconds time she said,
"I want to live like muggle people.
"I want to do whatever muggle people do.
"I want to sleep with muggle people.
"I want to sleep with muggle people, like you."
Well what else could I do?
I said, "I'll see what I can do."
I took her to Kings Cross Station.
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere,
So it started there.
I said, "Pretend you can't do magic."
She just frowned and said "That's so tragic."
I said "Yeah?" Well, I can't see anyone else transfigurin' here!
"Are you sure you want to live like muggle people?
"You want to see whatever muggle people see?
"You want to sleep with muggle people?
"You want to sleep with muggle people like me?"
But, she didn't appreciate it.
She just spun and apparated.
Get your mail from just some man,
Scrape your food out of a can
Sweep with a broom and look the fool
Pretend you never went to school.
But still, you'll never get it right.
When you're lying in bed at night,
Watching roaches climb the wall,
If you waved your wand you could stop it all.
Yeah!
You'll never live like muggle people.
You'll never do whatever muggle people do.
You'll never fail like muggle people.
You'll never watch your life slide out of view,
Completely unaware of You-Know-Who
Because there's nothing else to do.
Sing along with the muggle people.
Sing along, and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the muggle people.
Laugh along, even though they're lauging at you
And the stupid things that you do
'cause you think powerless is cool.
Like a werewolf crouched in a corner,
They'll bite you and never warn you,
Look out!
They'll tear your insides out.
'cause everybody hates a wizard
Especially one who thinks
it's all such a laugh
Yeah, and the polyjuice stains
will come out in the bath
You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no magic or control
And without spells like "Accio!"
You're amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright,
while you can only wonder why.
Get your mail from just some man,
Scrape your food out of a can
Sweep with a broom and look the fool
Pretend you never went to school
But still, you'll never get it right.

I want to sleep with muggle people, like you.
I want to sleep with muggle people, like you.
I want to sleep with muggle people, like you.
"Grawp (He's Heavy AND My Brother)"
Sad when a giant comes up short
Glad when he don't fall in with Voldemort
Bad when your brother don't know your name
Mad that you love him just the same
Grawp
He's heavy
Grawp
He's my brother
Grawp
He's heavy and my brother
Leave him tied up in the woods
Safe from those bastards in their hoods
They might just give me the sack
But I always got your back
Grawp
He's heavy
Grawp
He's my brother
Grawp
He's heavy and my brother
Wish I'd got to watch you grow
Hope you don't have to stoop too low
Want not to live with such regret
But I'm your brother, don't forget
Grawp
He's heavy
Grawp
He's my brother
Grawp
He's heavy and my brother
"Accio Your Heart"
Accio your heart
And it'd shoot out like a rocket
I'd catch it like a golden snitch
And stick it in my pocket
Accio your love
To warm me in this blizzard
You're as pretty as a vela
And I'm a lonesome wizard
Accio my love
It's yours forever more
There is no greater magic
You're the one that I adore
Accio my soul
It'll shoot out like a rocket
Make of me a horcrux
You can seal it in a locket...
Accio, O Accio
Accio
"Quidditch Pitch Britannia"
The crowd is buzzing on butterbeer
The match is starting but I ain't got no fear
I waxed my broom so that I'll go real fast
I waxed my broom because it's really a blast
He's playing beater 'cause he don’t like your face
I’m playing seeker because I fly like an ace
That snitch zippin' around in the haze
We’re playing quidditch, we’re playing quidditch!
You take your Nim' 2K
I'll take my 'bolt
And when the snitch is found
My team will score
My chasers and my beaters all come along
They seem invincible as they soar along
The bludgers hit you like a thousand pound keg
We're playing quidditch, we're playing quidditch!
You take your Nim' 2K
I'll take my 'bolt
And when the snitch is found
My team will score
You take your Nim' 2K
I'll take my 'bolt
And when the snitch is found
My team will score
All along the scoring posts
Keepers block off goals
When I soar the quidditch pitch
I don't wanna go home
All along the scoring posts
Keepers block off goals
When I soar the quidditch pitch
I don't wanna go home
You take your Nim' 2K
I'll take my 'bolt
And when the snitch is found
My team will score
All along the scoring posts (you take your Nim' 2K)
Keepers block off goals (I'll take my 'bolt)
When I soar the quidditch pitch (and when the snitch is found)
I don't wanna go home (my team will score)
You take your Nim' 2K
I'll take my 'bolt
And when the snitch is found
My team will score
You take your Nim' 2K
I'll take my 'bolt
You take your Nim' 2K
I'll take my 'bolt
Let's go!
