George Weasley 

To the tune of Tom Lehrer's George Murphy

THE SCENE: Diagon, Number 93. FRED WEASLEY, in his first solo, 
responds to his critics

FRED:
Retail trade of magic tricks
May induce some hysterics
>From Missus Dolores
To Ilias Yocaris 
Because George Weasley is the guy
Who's done as well as I.

Oh gee, it's great,
At last we've got an entrepreneur who is 
Just as smart as me!
We will protect the Wizard World
Through our artillery
Developed here at this address
Diagon, Ninety-Three

The essays that you've read
On the NYT's Op-Eds
Say that capitalist methods are corrupt.
Should the Weasleys run joke shops? They say that
It's innately exploitative to sell Headless Hats
Though now we all hasten to reject their folly
With the support
Of Mother Molly

Marketing to Muggles we will next pursue
We'll lobby `gainst the Secrets Laws of 1692
Yes, now that we are corporate, we gonna go quite far
We'll  be as wealthy
As JKR!

HARRY POTTER FILKS

 The views of Ilias Yocaris ("French literary theorist") may be read 
on July 18 2004 New York Times' Op-Ed Page (the URL is too long to 
insert here, but you can look it up on TLC or Google). 

BTW, Tom Lehrer fans: Every song from his 1965 album "That Was The 
Year That Was" has now been HP-filked, except for Werner Von Braun. 
Anyone want to take a crack at it?
