THE SCENE: The Little Hangleton Cemetery. A mysterious voice is heard 
directly beneath the tombstone engraved with the name of TOM RIDDLE

TOM RIDDLE, SR. 
Malignant was I
So she died
When I left her.
Rude and rich
"Get out, witch!"
Then he crossed my lawn
"I'm your son"
Here's what he did
Grandfolks slew
Then I died too

It seems that his will's
Rather ill toward his daddy
He bears my name
And became quite a baddy 
That is why I am
A cemetery man
Cemetery man

I'm stuck in this tomb
Little room
Quite a small world
When he tried
Parricide 

I hear he's undone
Yet there's one 
Way to save him
Pettigrew's 
Precious brew

Since I'm in his clan
Now his plan's to unearth me
My bones he'll cook
Then won't look so unearthly
That's because I am
A cemetery man
Cemetery man

(Instrumental bridge - Repeat final stanza)

When Pettigrew opened the coffin, he found Tom Riddle, Sr. sitting 
up, fully alert, rubbing the sheet music for this filk with an 
enormous eraser. "What are you doing, Mr. Riddle?" exclaimed 
Pettigrew.  "What the hell does it look like I'm doing?" cried Mr. 
Riddle, "I'm decomposing!"
