Almost Like Having Some Lunch

To the tune of Almost Like Being in Love, from Brigadoon

Dedicated to Eloise

THE SCENE: A Hogwarts Dungeon where a ghostly soiree is being held. 
The Four House Ghosts celebrate the meal that is about to be served. 


FAT FRIAR:
When you're a ghost you lack the power
To hold a lavish banquet where we'd solid food devour
But there's a way we can contrive
To make it seem we're still alive

THE GRAY LADY
When we get an entrée in a state of decay
Why, it's almost like having some lunch!

NEARLY HEADLESS NICK
When it exudes a stench that would make your teeth clench
Why, it's almost like having some lunch!

BLOODY BARON:
All us spirits can then carry on if you serve up some rank carrion

ALL
And with the mildew and mold we don't feel all that old 
If the food is right rotten, then we've not quite forgotten
It's almost like having some lunch

NEARLY HEADLESS NICK
We just can't stay morose
 
THE GRAY LADY:
If it's putrid and gross,
It is... almost like having some lunch

FAT FRIAR:
For our fellowship grows as the snacks decompose

BLOODY BARON:
It is... almost like having some lunch

NEARLY HEADLESS NICK:
All my senses reel as if drunk

THE GRAY LADY:
By a scent that resembles a skunk!

ALL:
And when the meal starts to spoil we feel as if we're royal

BLOODY BARON:
Nothing's better, we're thinking

FAT FRIAR:
Than that corrosive stinking,

ALL:
It's almost like having some lunch!

(The Four House Ghosts and their guests dig in)
