Dragons Are The World's Best Pet

(A filk by Gail B. to the tune of _Sparkling Diamonds_ from the movie
Moulin Rouge)


Which is actually the tune _Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend_ with a
little snippet from _Material Girl_ * by Madonna.


Dedicated to Wendy St. James for her love of Dragons (and NOT for any
other reason :)> )

And to Haggridd...in hopes that he makes a speedy recovery.



CoS, chapter 14, page 185 UK softcover edition:
"Harry, Ron and Hermione had always known that Hagrid had an
unfortunate liking for large and monstrous creatures. During their
fist year at Hogwarts he had tried to raise a dragon in his little
wooden house..."

The lights go out in the Great Hall save for a single spot-light which
focuses upon a huge figure descending from the ceiling on a swing.
It's Hagrid, dressed in a sequin studded dragon-hide coat with
matching top hat.

Hagrid:

One day I'm going to get me one....

My Blast-ended Skrewts may have incredible maws
But dragons are the world's best pet
I've befriended cute little Acromantulas
But they can't compare
'Cause dragons have that (mmmmm) savoir-faire

My desire breathes streams of fire
But I don't regard that as a threat
For Longhorns and Short-snouts
I'm completely devout
Dragons are the world's best pet

Opaleye! Vipertooth!

*'Cause I am longing for a Hebridean Black
With spikes down it's obsidian back

(spoken)
Come to mamma, boy!

Welsh Green! Fireball!

Aw, Albus Dumbledore, why won't you let me have one?

(singing)
The official Ministry classification

(Dumbledore joins in)
Says, "Dragons aren't the world's best pet"

Hagrid:
The Headmaster said about my fascination

(Dumbledore joins in)
Dragons are not tame

Hagrid:
That's what they claim, it's such a shame

Harry, Ron and Hermione:
Hagrid said that at Hog's Head
There's a moment he'll never forget

Dragons are the world's best
Dragons are the world's best
Dragons are the world's best pet

Hagrid:
I won playing black jack
A Norwegian Ridgeback

Dragons are the world's best pet!


-Gail B...never to sick to filk!
