When You Cash In On Your Scar (from CoS, Chap. 6)

To the tune of When You Wish Upon a Star, from Pinocchio

Dedicated to GiNnY

THE SCENE: Before Professor's Sprout's Greenhouse. LOCKHART offers 
some sage advice to HARRY

LOCKHART (spoken): Don't know when I've been more shocked. Flying a 
car to Hogwarts! Well, of course, I knew at once why you'd done it.

.Gave you a taste for publicity, didn't I? Gave you the bug. You got 
onto the front page of the paper with me and you couldn't wait to do 
it again

.

HARRY (spoken): Oh, no, Professor, see

..

LOCKHART (music)
Don't cash in yet on your scar
Make sure to lose the flying car
No one likes it when nobodies
Arise too fast.

Wait until some years go by
Then for the brass ring make a try
Let them know how You-Know-Who
Haunted your past.

Fame is cool
She'll bring you cash and crowds
But do not act too proud 
`Cause it's not charming

Soon like me, ol' Gilderoy
You'll arrive to give fans joy
When you cash in on your scar
You'll have a blast
.

(LOCKHART gives HARRY  a conspiratorial wink, and strides off)
