Privet Drive (a FILK written by Gail Bohacek to the tune of _Penny Lane_ by 
Paul McCartney and John Lennon)

This Filk is dedicated to Lilac who opened up my bag of potato chips (I 
think she knows what I mean)


On Privet Drive Mr.. Dursley prepares to go to work
He doesn't see the owl fly by his window
On the street odd folk in wizard robes
Stop and say, "Hello"

On the corner is a cat he's never seen before
He swears he see her with a map within her paws
And the weatherman says that there are shooting stars
Instead of rain---very strange

Privet Drive is in my ears and in my eyes
Disturbing Dursley's normal life
He scowls and meanwhile back

On Privet Drive Mr. Dursley is still quite upset
He'd heard a whisper mention the Potters by name
And there were owls flying around in the day
This grey Tuesday

Privet Drive is in my ears and in my eyes
Dursley assumes it''ll be alright
But meanwhile, later that night

On Privet Drive D'dore makes his way to number 4
He meets McDougall there waiting to talk to him
Then Hagrid comes flying in
On a motorbike---carrying the tyke

Dumbledore lays the child upon the doorstep of the Dursley house
While the wizard world celebrates the fall of Voldemort
They raise their goblets and purpose a toast
To the boy who survived---Harry's alive

Privet Drive is in my ears and in my eyes
Harry's found by Dursley's wife
She screams and meanwhile back

Privet Drive is in my ears and in my eyes
Privet Drive is in my ears and in my eyes

Privet Drive


_Gail B....who was thinking, when she kept the original lyric of "in my ears 
and in my eyes", that it would refer to HP fans listening/reading as the 
story unfolds
