That was absolutely hilarious! Well done, Pippin. I especially love that line about "he's a survivor/with moral fiber".

  Under the Lake
  A filk by Pippin to the tune of Under the Sea
  Scene: the Prefect's bathroom
  Enter HARRY with the egg clue. He runs a bath, takes off his clothes 
  and gets in the water

  HARRY
  I shoulda been a whole lot keener
  Why did I procrastinate?
  Was I dreaming about going up here 
  What for did I have to wait? 
  Just look at the mess I'm in now
  Right here in the Prefect's bath 
  Then Myrtle comes out of hiding 
  Just what is she  lookin' at? 

  Under the foam, under the foam
  There'll be no gawking 
  Don't you be stalking 
  Leave me alone! 
  I'll hit the books I'll read all day
  Where there's a wand there'll be a way
  Some spell bequeathing
  How to be breathing
  Under the foam

  [Some days later, Harry falls asleep in the library and is wakened by 
  Dobby]

  HARRY
  Under the lake where the merfolk ramble 
  They have  taken what I'll sorely miss 
  Past an hour it'll be a shamble 
  Worse than being dementor kisssed 
  But the hostages are lucky 
  I'm in for a worser fate 
  Everybody's gonna know I blew it 
  I'm  gonna be Draco bait 

  DOBBY
  Under the lake, under the lake
  It will be breezy,
  You'll find your Weezy, 
  Make no mistake
  Although you isn't find the book 
  With gilly weed you's off the hook 
  Having no troubles 
  Under the bubbles 
  Under the lake 

  Under the lake,
  Under the lake
  No need to fake it
  You're going to make it
  Under the lake

  [cut to under water]

  MYRTLE
  Though  Diggory  and Viktor Krum 
  and haughty Fleur away  have  swum
  You will surprise 'em, we'll Myrtle-ise 'em
  Under the lake 

  HARRY
  When I feed on the weed
  I'm an ace in this race
  I'm all grins with my fins
  I've got  gills on my face  
  The bass I can pass 
  The chub I won't flub 
  It's no fluke I'm the duke of this pond 
  V. Krum will look dumb
  No Ced up ahead
  I'm  sure to pass Fleur
  The squid must have fled
  Like smelt and like sprat 
  I'll leave them all flat 
  And flow past that  grindylow 

  Under the lake (under the lake)
  Under the lake (under the lake) 
  What the merpeople think they can keep will 
  Soon make a break 
  What do they got? A lotta sand 
  I'll free each hostage from that band 
  Fleur will be 'appy, I saved her Gabby
  Under the lake!

  [Harry frees Gabrielle and Ron and they swim ashore. Fleur ecstatically 
  kisses Harry and Ron]

  HERMIONE
  Fleur was a drown out
  Harry  got Ron out
  Under the lake!

  VIKTOR [aside to Hermione]
  Don't vant to share ya
  Come to Bulgaria
  Under the lake!

  CEDRIC [aside to Cho]
  Why don't we try it
  Before I buy it.
  Under the lake!

  JUDGES  
  Top marks for Potter
  Under the water
  He did the task here 
  More than we asked here  
  He's a survivor 
  With moral fiber
  Under the lake!
