FILK: Could He Be The Heir?

[Caius Marcius]

No: HPFGUIDX 94205

Song #13 from my CoS musical, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to 
the Chamber (three to go)

Could He Be The Heir? (Cos, Chap. 11)

To the tune of Love Is In The Air, cut from Sondheim's A Funny Thing 
Happened on the Way to the Forum

NOTE: This "pretty and delicate" song was the original opening number 
of Forum, but was replaced by the more robust Comedy Tonight. It can 
be heard on the 3-CD RCA set "A Collector's Sondheim," but 
unfortunately no MIDI or RealAudio

Dedicated to Suzanne Chiles

THE SCENE: After the attack on Justin, Hufflepuffs are more convinced 
than ever that Harry is the infamous Heir of Slytherin 

HANNAH & ERNIE
Could he be the Heir?
We whisper
Tension in the air
Grows crisper

With constrictors he cuts capers
Vents to vipers give us vapors
He is hissing us down 

Potter we should not
Be trustin'
He has formed this plot
`Gainst Justin.
Fletchley made mistakes repeatin'
His admission into Eton
Harry's hissing us down

Potter's part and parcel
As a young Dark Lord Parseltongue
Our law is now martial 
With all the threats afoot
Mudbloods must all stay put.

FRED & GEORGE
Could he be the Heir?
You said it!
Hear us both declare
You'll dread it!
If he targets you for assault
You'll wake up as solid basalt
Quick now, out of his way
We'll hold him at bay
He is hissing us down 
Hissing us down
Hissing us down
Hissing us down
.
