FILK: Moony

No: HPFGUIDX 109223

It's been a long time coming, but here is the fourth installment of
my musical Cap Awry (to the story and songs of Cabaret).

In this episode, the Trio and members of the Order gather at
Grimmauld Place at Christmas.

Backstory: OrderMember!Snape has just informed Harry that he will be
giving him lessons in occlumency. The meeting - with Sirius present -
did not go well and Snape is reminded of his ongoing difficulties
with the surviving Mauraders. And after he kept Remus' secret when
Remus was teaching the Defense of the Dark Arts! Honestly!


At the Three Broomsticks, the lights come up on Snape, wearing the
Sorting Hat.

Moony (To the tune of Money)

[SNAPE:]

Lupin has a secret, you see
But it's safe with me
And I guarantee
I'll never tell deliberately
A secret's safe with me.

On full moon nights you might hear a howl
A deep throaty growl
A wolf on the prowl
You ask me and I'll say with a scowl
It's certainly not he.
A secret's safe with me.

Moony, Moony, Moony, Moony
Moony, Moony, Moony, Moony
Moony, Moony, Moony, Moony

If you ask me why I take
So much care when I make him a potion
I'll suggest and request you recall

>From the old Shrieking Shack
Used to come, once a month, a commotion.
Here's a drug, chug-a-lug, drink it all.

If you ask me why does he
Time to time, seem to be looking pasty
As the moon reaches fullest degree

I'll just tell you, take a look
In your book, to a werewolf you're tasty
Study up on what you see!

Lupin was a prefect, but he
Would watch as his friends
Threw hexes at me!
Called me names like "Old Snivelly"
That Potter boy was scum
(raspberry) on keeping mum

[The rip that is the HAT's mouth opens and the HAT joins in the
chorus:]

Moony, Moony, Moony, Moony
Moony, Moony, Moony, Moony
Moony, Moony, Moony, Moony

[SNAPE and HAT, in canon:]

When the moon is shining full
In the night and the sky's kinda scary
And the night sounds suddenly go still

And you see out in the dark
Shining eyes, and a form, something hairy
And your blood suddenly gets a chill

When you're hiding in your bed
Full of dread and you're under the covers
And you're cold but you're sweating a lot

But when something comes a-rap
Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window
Well, I'll tell you who it's not!

[SNAPE and HAT together:]

Lupin has a secret, you see
Kept safely with me
And I guarantee
I'll never tell deliberately
A secret's safe with me.

Hint a little, Moony, Moony
Poke a little, Moony, Moony
Moony, Moony, Moony, Moony
Moony, Moony, Moony, Moony

A monthly wolfish moonlit howl
A teacher gone, a wolf on the prowl
You ask me and I'll say with a scowl
A secret's safe with me!
