Get Creepy (from PoA, Chap. 19)

(To the tune of Harold Arlen's Get Happy)

Dedicated to Jenny of Ravenclaw

NOTE: This was an early song by Arlen, best known for his score for 
The Wizard of Oz. It was popularized by Judy Garland, who sang it in 
the 1950 film Summer Stock.  I can't find more than a few snippets of 
Garland's rendition on the Web, but here's another performance (on 
RealAudio) of the song on a site with the improbable title "Music 
With An Ayn Rand Connection."  (Did Rand *ever* get happy?)

THE SCENE: The Shrieking Shack.  His true identity unveiled, 
PETTIGREW pleads for his life as he tries to rationalize away his 
guilt

PETTIGREW
Forgive my features if I seem creepy 
I'm better off as Scabbers instead
Hey, Ron Weasley, if you're feeling sleepy 
Take a 30-something rat to bed
 
The moon was shinin' when I got creepy
The Dark Lord waited to seize command
Never wanted to be Secret-Keepy 
Voldy's vigor I could not withstand 

Sold the Potters down the river
Couldn't stop it if I tried 
They're so all-powerful
On the other side

Forget my pride now and just start pleadin'
Don't let them take my poor life away
Please, Harry Potter, mercy I'm needin'
Don't give Black and Lupin your OK

Forgive my crimes now, let me get creepy
Hear how loudly I can caterwaul
As I start to get all waily and weepy
I'll be setting all your skin to crawl

(To Ron) For twelve years as your house pet
I know I did awfully well
Can't we agree we won't 
Ask, and will not tell?

HARRY, BLACK & LUPIN
If you're done whinin', c'mon then, Petey 
You can face the music like a man
We'll comply now with your entreaty
Get ready to tour Azkaban!
