This is a parody of the song "All You Have To Do Is Wait", from the 
Larry Gelbart musical "City of Angels".

             All You Have To Do Is Wait

Scene:  (Harry Potter has just entered the Chamber of 
        Secrets, and Tom Marvolo Riddle is gloating.)


Riddle: Well met, Harry!  Come on down!
        I just knew this was going to be my lucky day.
        *Mwahaha*

        You came sliding down the pipes;
        And the tunnel was too dark.
        Then you spoke in Parseltongue
        And the serpent door was sprung.        
        Thus you came into my park.
        Yes, this Chamber is a trap;
        Weasley's sister was the bait.
        I am in complete control;
        I will suck out Ginny's soul.
        All we have to do is wait.

        Tom Marvolo Riddle is not my name,
        It was just a con game,
        Harry.  You gave such delicious sport.
        My old identity was just a sham;
        It was an anagram.
        I proclaim, "I am Lord Voldemort!"

        'Twasn't really my idea.
        It was one of Malfoy's plots.
        He'd pretend to vent his spleen;
        He would really make a scene      
        Down at old Flourish and Blotts.
        'Twas a simple matter then,
        Arthur Weasley to berate.
        As that Mudblood-Lover shook,
        Stuck my diary in her book.
        All we had to do was wait.

        One little question!  Why you never died
        When I tried for the kill. 
        Avada Khedavra!  Strongest curse around. 
        Should put you underground at my will.
        How you escaped my magic 
        Was nothing short of tragic.
        Yes! I see now what was the counter-charm;
        To save you from harm, Lily bought the farm.

        As we make ready to fight,

Harry:  Do we really have to fight?

Riddle: You have nothing in your hand.

Harry:  I believe you have my wand.

Riddle: This time it will end in death;
        You will draw your final breath
        No more tricks, you understand?

Harry:  Yes, I clearly understand.

Riddle: Any progeny of Slytherin's race is
        On a first name basis, "Salazar!"

Harry: "Salazar?"

Riddle: Behold the Heir.

Harry:  Are you the Heir?

Riddle: As I seal the Chamber door,
        Think of me who sealed your fate.       
        Once the Basilisk arrives
        From his gaze no one survives.

Harry:  All I have to do is wait?

Riddle: All we have to do is wait.
        We shall see who has more weight!

(Tom Riddle and Harry prepare to do battle.)
