Transfiguration: Draco's Song (Parody)


Draco's Song: Transfiguration
   Tune of Anticipation*

We can never know what a witch
    may do!
But we're subject to their freaky ways.           
And I wonder if I'm really a ferret now?
Or hallucinatin'—some fungus thing I ate?

Transfiguration! Transfiguration...
is makin-me-change...
Is keepin' me changin'.

And I tell you how freaky it feels 
       to be this way—
   and how odd this fur feels to me.

But I! I threw up those worms
    I ate last night—when I was starvin' 
and so some worms looked good to me. 

Transfiguration! Transfiguration...
is makin' me change...
is keepin' me changin'.

And my father! 
He might not even know me.
I'm no human! 
But I don't know nature's ways! 

So I'll try! (I'll try!) and see if I 
can transform back
and be like I was—'cause
This don't look good on me!
    (This don't look good on me!) 

I need my mum, 'cause
This don't look good on me!
    (This don't look good on me!) 

(This don't look good on me!)
(This don't look good on me!)
(This don't look good on me!)
(This don't look good on me!)

 *Version of Anticipation: 
   Carly Simon, Live, June 9, 1987,
   Martha's Vineyard, on YouTube. 
   That one may have been taken 
    down. This 1995 Version may work—
    not sure if the meter is the 
    same:
