The Beast Inside of You (OOP, Chap. 22) 

To the tune of Peter Allen's The Best That You Can Do (aka the Theme 
from Arthur)

I was going to use the version of the song that is sung in the 
musical The Boy From Oz, which omits the second stanza. But when I 
saw that the second stanza begins with the word "Arthur," I knew I 
had to include it. 

Dedicated to CV 

"But that fellow over there,' [Arthur] said, dropping his voice and 
nodding towards the bed opposite in which a man lay looking green and 
sickly and staring at the ceiling. 'Bitten by a werewolf, poor chap. 
No cure at all.'

'A werewolf?' whispered Mrs. Weasley, looking alarmed. 'Is he safe in 
a public ward? Shouldn't he be in a private room?'

'It's two weeks till full moon,' Mr Weasley reminded her quietly. 
They've been talking to him this morning, the Healers, you know, 
trying to persuade him he'll be able to lead an almost normal life. I 
said to him - didn't mention names, of course - but I said I knew a 
werewolf personally, very nice man, who finds the condition quite 
easy to manage.'

'What did he say?' asked George.

'Said he'd give me another bite if I didn't shut up,' said Mr Weasley 
sadly.


WEREWOLF (looking wistfully at the Weasleys)
Sadly that wolf it found me
And so I wear St. Mungo's gowns 
Next thing you know, I'm headed for the Pound 
Woke up with lycanthropy 
Though the Healers say it's safe & sound 
When rendering up a shelf of Snape's compound 

When you get caught beneath a moon that has no pity
You grow more fuzzy, howling, too 
When you get caught beneath a moon that has no pity
The beast inside of you...... 
The beast inside of you becomes a wolf

Arthur, he's one of the Weasleys
In for snakebite, he's with his spouse
Once he is cured, it's back, back to his house
He's knowing a wolf who's just doing fine
I'm thinking to myself it's only moonshine
Growling at him to hush or I'll bite him fiercely

When you get caught beneath a moon that has no pity
You grow more fuzzy, howling, too 
When you get caught beneath a moon that has no pity
The beast inside of you...... 
The beast inside of you......
The beast inside of you becomes a wolf
