I've been waiting for somebody to do something about Chicago, or I was going to do it myself. Somehow, I can't picture Snape in the clown suit, but this was really funny.

    THE SCENE: Potions Class. Enter SEVERUS SNAPE

    SNAPE
    If students read silly gossip
    That prattles of their tangled ships
    Distracting them from Potions class
    I'll notice it

    If Potter isn't on the train
    Taking a car as an airplane
    And thinks he'll win himself a pass
    I'll notice it

    And merely with a quiet smile and sneer
    I'll reduce the culprits to the utmost fear
    Because of course their tormentor will be 
    Inexorable, ultra-uncordial me 

    Spellotape
    Mister Spellotape
    aka Severus Snape
    Mister Spellotape
    `Cause I can look right through you
    Glue right to you
    And make it more stickier!

    If DADA teachers serve as spies
    Who target broomsticks in the skies
    And play a double-facéd game
    I'll notice it

    If fugitives from Azkaban
    Renew old ties with a Wolfman 
    And loud their innocence proclaim
    I'll gloat a bit

    I have a motto that describes my stance:
    "Constant Unceasing Hyper-Vigilance!"
    The person eyeing you suspiciously
    Is that obsessive, unregenerate
    You know me.....

    Spellotape
    Mister Spellotape
    aka Severus Snape
    Mister Spellotape
    `Cause I can look right through you
    Glue right to you
    And make it more stickier!
    I tell ya
    Spellotape
    Mister Spellotape
    There is no escape from
    Mister Spellotape
    `Cause I can look right through you
    Glue right to you
    And make it more stickier!
    And make it more stickier!
       
       -      CMC"
