Constant Vigilance Fell Through

(To the tune of Hopelessly Devoted to You)

Dedicated to Steve Vander Ark

(The Scene: Inside the trunk of Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, who is being 
held hostage by Barty Crouch Jr.  The genuine Moody, sans magic eye 
and peg leg,laments his fate) 

MOODY
Guess I'm not the first Auror hostage
My eye not the first to be pinched
Give an inch, and they will take
Your will, leaving you subdued

You know I once filled ev'ry hoosegow
I confounded each Dark Wizard crew 
But let awareness lapse, and see it all collapse for you
If Constant Vigilance should fall through

`Cause now I'm locked in my trunk
Like some cheap piece of junk 
The thing I most dread, my constant vigilance fell through 
I've fallen into some deep doo-doo
`Cause constant vigilance fell through 

Take your eye off a Foe-Glass one second
Ignore a Sneakoscope's tiny peep
You'll meet a bad end, a hex they intend for you
If Constant Vigilance falls through

But now I'm locked in my trunk 
By that Crouch Junior punk
He's out there as me, a hopeless imitation of me 
Is all of Hogwarts too blind to see?
There's no way Crouch can be cooler than me
