Crystal, That Is!

To the tune of  The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss) by Betty 
Everett

Hear the original at:

http://www.buffnet.net/~ambrosia/page7.htm

NOTE: This song gets its title from the fact that the back-up chorus 
(here represented by Lavendar and Parvati) sing "Shoop Shoop" as the 
soloist sings her more extended refrains. I have not written this 
out: those familiar with the song can insert the necessary Shoops 
with their Inner Ears. 

Dedicated to our 142nd member, Amanda G!

THE SCENE. Divination Class. Enter LAVENDER BROWN & PARVATI PATIL, 
to earnestly entreat of PROF. TRELAWNEY the secrets of her success

LAVENDER & PARVATI
Can you predict? We want to know!
Can you tell what tomorrow holds?

Is it in tea leaves?
 
TRELAWNEY
Oh no, they are all wet

LAVENDER & PARVATI
Should we stars believe?

TRELAWNEY
Oh, they're for space cadets
If you want to spy with your Inner Eye
Just use the Crys

LAVENDER & PARVATI
Crystal, that is! Oh, yeah!

Oh, is it in the flames?

TRELAWNEY
Oh, no, they are too hot 

LAVENDER & PARVATI
Should we palms proclaim?

TRELAWNEY
I think I'd rather not
If you want to speak of wazzup next week
Just use the Crys

LAVENDER & PARVATI
Crystal, that is!

TRELAWNEY
Oh, just use the Crys

LAVENDER & PARVATI
Crystal, that is!

TRELAWNEY
Oh, take it and peer in close
And find out what you want to know
With that orb, you'll the future quiz
When you See in Crys!

LAVENDER & PARVATI
How about entrails of birds?

TRELAWNEY
Oh, no, that's far too crass!
You won't earn a passin' grade in my class
If you wanna jog through futures unfogged
It's in the Crys

ALL
Crystal, that is!
Oh, yeah, it's in the Crys!
Crystal, that is!

(Instrumental bridge)

TRELAWNEY
Oh, take it and peer in close
And find out what you want to know
Through the orb, you will learn it all
Once you have the balls

LAVENDER & PARVATI
How about the Tarot cards?

TRELAWNEY
Oh, they're a pack of Fools!
You won't earn a passin' grade in this school
If you wanna say what happens next Monday
It's in the Crys

ALL
Crystal, that is!
Oh, yeah, it's in the Crys.....
