Over on Privet Drive 

(To the tune of On the Street Where You Live, from My Fair Lady)

Dedicated to Susan Hall

THE SCENE:  A glorious summer day on Privet Drive. Enter VERNON 
DURSELY

VERNON
Though I love to be out there selling drills
Once I'm homeward bound I feel a more compelling thrill 
When I see that "Four" in brass on our door
Over on Privet Drive where we live

As a member of this community
I indulge my pettiness with sheer impunity
It's like Roald Dahl meets suburban sprawl
Over on Privet Drive where we live

And, oh, that empowering feeling
To know Dud will augment my rule
But oh that cowering feeling
If Marge should chance to find there's no Saint Brutus school

People stop and stare, sure that bothers me
If they think for one moment I'd Harry's father be
Hope he'll disappear in a few more years
It will be Privet Drive that he'll leave
