FILK: You're the Top

[elfundeb]

No: HPFGUIDX 49010

This is my first-ever filk, something light for the holiday season.  The source material is "You're the Top" by Cole Porter, from the musical Anything Goes.  

It takes place during "The Unexpected Task" chapter from GoF.

It is not properly sung out loud, but may be heard faintly by listening to Ron's deepest subconscious.

YOU'RE THE TOP

Mere thoughts romantic leave me so frantic
That always I find it best
Instead of getting them off my chest
To let them rest unaddressed.

Were I admittin' that I'm so smitten
Well, then I could tell you how great you are . . .

You're the top
You're a day in Hogsmeade
You're the top
You're a Fizzing Whizbee
You're a tangerine flavored bean from Bertie Botts
You're a sugar quill
You're my brother Bill
You're wizard's chess!

You're the top
You're the Chudley Cannons
You're a vault full of golden galleons
I'm a worthless cheque, a total wreck, a flop
But if, Hermione, I'm the bottom, you're the top!

You're the top
You're a bouncing ferret
You're the great pyramids of Egypt
You're a shimmery silver Invisibility Cloak
You're a Weasley jumper,
You're a Cockroach Cluster,
You're Zonko's jokes!

You're a lark
You're my owl Pigwidgeon
You're a mark of three hundred seven
I'm a house of cards that's fated soon to drop,
But if, Hermione, I'm the bottom, you're the top!

You're the top 
You're the best of Aurors
You're a pair of Omnioculars
You're the nimble zoom of the broom of Viktor Krum,
You're an eclair platter
You're a flying Anglia
You're Drooble's gum!

You're romance
You're a Sneakoscope
You're a dance, dressed in brand new dress robes,
I'm a lazy lout who's just about to stop,
But if, Hermione, I'm the bottom, you're the top!
