And The Poltergeist Flew All Around And Around (from GoF, Chap. 25)

(To the tune of The Green Grass Grew All Around)

Dedicated to Pippin

There was an egg in the middle of the ground
The noisiest egg that you ever did hear
Well, the egg's on the ground
And the poltergeist flew all around and around
And the poltergeist flew all around.

And the egg was dropped by a secret cloak
The most invisible cloak that you ever didn't see
Well the cloak dropped the egg
And the egg's on the ground
And the poltergeist flew all around and around
And the poltergeist flew all around.

And beneath the cloak there was a boy
The daringest boy that you ever did see 
Well, the boy's in the cloak
And the cloak dropped the egg
And the egg's on the ground
And the poltergeist flew all around and around
And the poltergeist flew all around.

And the boy was trapped on a flight of stairs
The sneakiest stairs that you ever did climb
Well the stairs trapped the boy
And the boy's in the cloak
And the cloak dropped the egg
And the egg's on the ground
And the poltergeist flew all around and around
And the poltergeist flew all around.

And down the stairs there came a cat
The nastiest cat that you ever heard purr
Well the cat climbs down stairs 
And the stairs trapped the boy
And the boy's in the cloak
And the cloak dropped the egg
And the egg's on the ground
And the poltergeist flew all around and around
And the poltergeist flew all around.

And with the cat there came a Filch
The filthiest Filch that ever carried a key 
Well the Filch finds the cat
And the cat climbs down stairs 
And the stairs trapped the boy
And the boy's in the cloak
And the cloak dropped the egg
And the egg's on the ground
And the poltergeist flew all around and around
And the poltergeist flew all around.

And then the Filch he awakens Snape 
The snakiest Snape that was ever snarly
Well that Snape's woke by Filch  
And the Filch finds the cat
And the cat climbs down stairs 
And the stairs trapped the boy
And the boy's in the cloak
And the cloak dropped the egg
And the egg's on the ground
And the poltergeist flew all around and around
And the poltergeist flew all around.
 
And then that Snape he saw a map
The most mischievous map that has ever had dots
Well the map's seen by Snape
And that Snape's woke by Filch  
And the Filch finds the cat
And the cat climbs down stairs 
And the stairs trapped the boy
And the boy's in the cloak
And the cloak dropped the egg
And the egg's on the ground
And the poltergeist flew all around and around
And the poltergeist flew all around.

And the map was grabbed by a mad-eyed man
The most maddening eye that you sometimes could see
Well the man grabs the map
And the map's seen by Snape
And that Snape's woke by Filch  
And the Filch finds the cat
And the cat climbs down stairs 
And the stairs trapped the boy
And the boy's in the cloak
And the cloak dropped the egg
And the egg's on the ground
And the poltergeist flew all around and around
And the poltergeist flew all around.

And this mad-eyed man was a man called Crouch
The grouchiest Crouch ever serving Voldy
Well, Crouch is the man
And the man grabs the map
And the map's seen by Snape
And that Snape's woke by Filch  
And the Filch finds the cat
And the cat climbs down stairs 
And the stairs trapped the boy
And the boy's in the cloak
And the cloak dropped the egg
And the egg's on the ground
And the poltergeist flew all around and around
'Cause poltergeist are pretty profound.
