THE SCENE: A street in London, circa 1981. Anticipating Sirius 
Black's arrival, PETTIGREW forms a desperate but ingenious plan to 
escape, and frame Sirius as the ally of Voldemort. A CHORUS OF SEWER 
RATS, celebrating PETTIGREW's entry into their domain, provides 
backup

PETTIGREW & (CHORUS)
Falling down is my whole world
I'm unready for Voldy's defeat
When Black comes then the time is right
For blastin' in the street
To detonate some Muggles (blastin' in the street)
Into smithereens (blastin' in the street)
That are itty-bitty (blastin' in the street)

All I need is my magic, Animagic 
And I'll murder everyone 
Straight down the road went as a rodent,
Furrier and fleet 

Oh, it doesn't matter if Black's framed
Just as long as I'm unblamed
So, come on, Pettigrew, grab your wand
It's your turn to now respond
There'll be blastin'
Be blastin' in the street (blastin' in the street)

Then it's my transformation
Rat-ification
That way Sirius I'll cheat
I'll be whiskered and furry and in a hurry
Just fleein' down the street

Unbeknowst to Pettigrew, Black Apparates to the scene

PETER & CHORUS
They boomeranged his A.K. (blastin' in the street)
Voldemort is deceased now (blastin' in the street)
Yeah, it's the moment to get ratty (blastin' in the street)

All I need is magic, Dark Magic
There'll be Aurors everywhere
There'll be just one finger that I'll leave linger
When blastin' up the street, yeah

Oh, it will not matter what Black does
He'll get snatched up by the fuzz
So c'mon, Sirius, grab your wand
But Pettigrew now has you conned!
There'll be blastin'
Be blastin' in the street

(A large crowd of Muggles, attracted by PETTIGREW's singing, is 
assembled. PETTIGREW theatrically pretends to corner BLACK)

PETTIGREW (spoken, feigning tears): Lily and James, Sirius! How 
could you?

(PETTIGREW pulls out his wand. Sirius pulls his wand out in 
response. PETTIGREW creates an explosion which kills twenty Muggles 
standersby, then, transforming into a rat, flees the scene. BLACK 
begin laughing hysterically). 

PETTIGREW AND (CHORUS) (fleeing the scene, fading out)
I shall first betray, then sneak away
I've  blasted up the street
A new life I am livin'
Fugitivin', off to the Weasleys
(Blastin' in the street)
Out to the Burrow, watch me go

(A few seconds after PETTIGREW disappears, a team of Ministry 
Hitwizards appears and takes BLACK into custody)

BLACK (laughing helplessly): Peter, that is the absolutely worst 
singing I've ever heard in my life!!

(BLACK is led away by the Hitwizards)
