FILK: Moving The Thread Here (was OT-Chatter: Assassins and Squeaky!Barty)

[heiditandy]

No: HPFGUIDX 51706

When I pondered FILKing Assassins yesterday, with Barty Crouch as
Squeaky Fromme, Elkins wrote (on OTC): 

<<I second this recommendation very much.  Assassins is one of my 
favorite musicals.   Oh, that is simply priceless (as well as eerily
canonically appropriate).  'Let me prove worthy of your love,' indeed!
But who would you cast as the other half of the duet? 
SpeculativeInLoveWithTomFrustratedSpinsterEvil!McGonagall, perhaps?  >>

Nah. This is dedicated to Elkins, who asked me to, and Gwen who begged
me not to. And Elkins, now I feel like I should FILK the rest of the
show...



UNWORTHY OF THE MARK, as sung by Barty Crouch, Jr. and Peter Pettigrew
(guess who's singing Squeaky's part?)
To the tune of Stephen Sondheim's Unworthy of Your Love, from Assassins
(Original lyrics are available here:

clip of the song is available (legally!) here:

BARTY

I am nothing,
You are wind and father and sky,
Voldie.
Tell me, Voldie, how I can earn the Dark Mark.
I'd torture Aurors
I would kill Mudbloods, 
I would do anything for you.
What do you want me to do?

I am unworthy of your Mark,
Voldie, Voldie,
Let me prove worthy of your Mark.
Tell me how I can earn the Dark Mark,
Then brand me.
How else can I do Morsmerde?

PETER

I am nothing,
You are snakes and power and Lord,
Voldie,
Mark my arm, crucio me 
For your fun.
Let me kill the spare,
Or torture Bertha,
Tell me to tear my arm in two,
If that's what you want me to do...

I'm unworthy of the Dark Mark,
Voldie darlin',
I have not fully earned your Mark.
Let me be worthy of your Mark,
Set me free --

BARTY
I would save you from years of strife...

PETER
I would come find you in your cell...

BARTY
You're the dad missing from my life...

PETER
I would crawl like a rat through hell...

BARTY
I'd die for You-Know-Who...

PETER
I'd die for You-Know-Who...

BARTY
Even though --

PETER
Even though --

PETER
I will always know

BARTY
I am unworthy of the Mark
Voldie darlin', 
Let me be worthy of your Mark.

BARTY & PETER
I'll find a way to earn your Mark,
Wait and see.
Then you'll put the Dark Mark right on me.
Your mark. 
On me!
