I Heard Severus Snape Whine (from PoA, Chap. 14)

(To the tune of I Heard It Through the Grapevine)

Dedicated to Pippin, Angela Boyko  & Lisa 

THE SCENE: Gryffindor Common Room, as HARRY tells HERMIONE of a 
surprise encounter with SNAPE after returning from Hogsmeade.  
Dissolve to SNAPE's office as the music begins

SNAPE
Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
That Hogsmeade you've been sneakin' to
You think you're safe with that magic cloak
For famous Potter, rules are just a joke
I think of James, that headstrong jock 
And you're a chip off that old block

(Dissolve back to the Gryffindor Common Room)

HARRY
Dontcha know that I heard Severus Snape whine
`Gainst Dad and me he's still aligned 
When I heard Severus Snape whine
I yelled at him to shut that grind, Hermy, Hermy
"Your grudge you ought be waivin' 
Since Dad your life was savin', Snapey, ooh ooh ooh"

(Dissolve back to SNAPE's office)

SNAPE
Potter ears ain't supposed to hear
The truth because it's far too dear
James tried to end my life, you see,
Thought it would be great hilarity
He saved me only when compelled, 
When he saw he'd get expelled

Doncha see that he was guilty of a Snape crime
He put my life right on the line
He was guilty of a Snape crime
He chickened out of it just in time, Harry, Harry
Your father was no hero, 
To me he was a zero, Harry, ooh ooh ooh

(Dissolve back to the Gryffindor Common Room)

HARRY
Next thing was we had a flap
When Snape saw the Marauder's Map
When it began to call him names
He summoned Lupin from the flames
And when it seemed all hope was gone
Through the door burst good ol' Ron

But then I heard what Lupin opined
Of my parents' fate he did remind
To their sacrifice I've been blind
To contrition I am now inclined, Hermy, Hermy,
I must act far more safely, 
But I'm still hatin' Snapey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
