The Man on the Broom (QTA, Chap. 5)

To the tune of The Man In The Moon, from Jerry Herman's musical Mame

A/N: Re-reading the first two paragraphs of QTA's Fifth Chapter 
should clear up any possible obscurities in this song

The Year: 1419 - With a wordless chorus in the background, the CHIEF 
OF THE WIZARDS' COUNCIL reminds the community of the penalties that 
will ensue for playing Quidditch "anywhere near any place where there 
might be a Muggle watching." 

Chorus:
Oooooh Aaaaaaaaah...

COUNCIL CHIEF:
We have our wizard secrets we'd like to defend
But it seems some have brooms that in daylight descend
Those with magic, should stay out of view
But there's unseemly gossip and rumors report
Of a warlock too careless in playing his sport
Just make sure this won't happen to you
..

The man on the broom was arrested
For playing with Muggles in sight
Take care, all you flyers
To heed Zacharias
And only chase Quaffles at night. 

1362, we first gave this decree:
"Do not fly near a town
Where the Muggles might see."
Though his friends all say he didn't plan it
We do not really give a fig
At no Snitch he'll be lungin'
Whilst chained in our dungeon.
The man on the broom's in the brig.
