Mister Lovegood and his Quibblin' Little Five-Knut `Zine

To the tune of Ray Stevens' Freddie Feel-Good and His Funky Little 
Five-Piece Band.

Here an excerpt at:

The Scene: A concert venue on Diagon Alley. Innocent singing 
sensation STUBBY BOARDMAN temporarily comes out of retirement to 
host  a fundraiser for that beacon of truth, The Quibbler, and its 
heroic editor Mister Lovegood

STUBBY BOARDMAN:
Well, there is a hot little journal
That loves to expose
The secret schemes of the Tornados
And the vile gang Rotfang that wants to stay unseen

LUNA:
Hey, hey

STUBBY:
Fudge is that outlaw, you may well surmise
Who murders goblins, and then bakes `em in pies
But there's a man standing on the side of the pure and clean
I`m talking `bout Mister Lovegood
And his Quibblin' little 5-knut `zine, 

LUNA:
Oh yeah...

STUBBY:
He's got a Blibbering Humdinger
He is really some singer
He's got dibs on the way to blib

BLIBBERING HUMDINGER
Blib, blib, blib, blib, etc.

STUBBY
He got a Slashkilter
What thrills, sir!

UMGUBULAR SLASHKILTER
Um, gub, gub, gub, gub, etc.

STUBBY
He got a Crumple-Horned Snorkack
Lookin' for a small snack

CRUMPLE-HORNED SNORKACK
Snork, snork, kack, kack, kack, etc.

STUBBY
Here's a Wrackspurt
Cute as Norbert
He'll start some buzzin' in your fuzzy head

WRACKSPURT
Spurt, spurt, spurt, spurt, etc.

STUBBY
And our editor
Always anti-predator
Here`s Mister Lovegood hisself

MISTER LOVEGOOD
Quib, Quib, Quib, Quib, etc. 

(MISTER LOVEGOOD and the quartet of improbable Fantastic Beasts enter 
into an extended riff of elaborately counterpointed scat-singing 
which brings the audience to their feet)

STUBBY
Well, The Daily Prophet may fear the wrath
Of the Aquavirus Maggot and the Heliopath
Keepin' the truth from the wizards to boost their regime

LUNA:
Hey, hey

STUBBY
But in the end everybody's gonna know all the facts
About the nargals, moon frogs, and the Swedish snorkacks - 
The truth he will find even though it may sound extreme

LUNA:
Hey, hey

STUBBY & LUNA
I`m talking `bout Mister Lovegood
And his Quibblin' little 5-knut `zine, oh yeah

STUBBY (spoken):
Blow that horn! Come on Humdinger baby, make it blib! C'mon! 

(A second extended riff by the Quintet, culminating in a Broadway 
chorus-line climax) 

BLIBBERING HUMDINGER (winding down)
Blib, blib, blib, blib, blib, blib, blib
...

STUBBY:
Oh yeeaaahhhh!
