Old Man Wizard 

(To the tune of Old Man River, from Showboat)

Dedicated to Marina Frantz

NOTE: Voldy, with his "cold, high voice" is going to have a lot of 
trouble with some of the deep baritone passages here. 

THE SCENE: The Cemetery at Little Hangleton. Harry has just grabbed 
the Portkey and vanished. A certain awkward silence looms between 
LORD VOLDEMORT and the gathering of  Death Eaters. Finally, someone 
speaks.

NOTT (spoken): Boy, talk about beginner's luck! Not to worry, You-Who-
Must-Not-Be-Named: you'll get him next time, right?

VOLDEMORT: (casting a contemplative Cruciatus curse on all 
assembled). Thanks for that vote of confidence, Nott. Actually, it's 
really not Potter I'm most worried about. He's merely a stalking 
horse, if you will, for own old adversary, you-know-who – no, not me, 
the other you-know-who

(music)
There's an ol' man who's Headmaster at Hogwarts
That's the ol' man that I'd like to waste!
What does he care for a poor Dark Lord's troubles?
What does he care that I've been disgraced?

Old man wizard
That old man wizard
He won't stay quiet
He don't deny it
He just keeps sayin'
He keeps on sayin' my name

Although my powers 
Transcend Atomic
It's clear, I'm thinkin',
He finds me comic.
That ol' man wizard
He keeps betrayin' my aim

Poor ol' me, despite my brain 
Body was lackin', an' racked with pain!
Ripped from life!
Can't exist!
Takin' over snakes
Merely to subsist....

I grew weary
But still kept tryin'
Obsessed with livin'
Afraid of dyin' 
But ol' man wizard
He kept delayin' my game

And now I'm hearin'
What's sure to scare us
Some news that's comin'
>From Richard Harris:
Straight through Book Seven
That ol' man'll keep goin' strong!
