DUMBLEDORE (to Harry, spoken).: Throughout history there have been
accounts about evil men of humble origin. In this memory, you'll see
the story of a Mrs.Cole, an orphanage, and a abandoned boy named Tom
Riddle. And in place of an owl, they sent me
.

DUMBLEDORE and (HARRY)
Hang out with us, Tom Riddle
At Hogwarts School apply
Hang out with us, Tom Riddle
Don't act like a tough guy.

I met him as an orphan,
Living with Ms. Cole
Little did I know then
That he'd split his soul

Hang-ups you have, Tom Riddle
You like to thieve and lie (ah-uh-eye)
Hang-ups you have, Tom Riddle
You made the bunny die

I saw his wardrobe,
Made it burst in flame
"If you a-teach me magic,
I'll be mighty glad you came."

Hang out (with us) with us (Riddle) and fly
Hang out with us and fly (ah poor kid, ah well-ah)
Hang out (with us) with us (Riddle), you'll fly
Tommy, don't terrify (ah well now boy)

Hang-ups (have gone) have gone (Riddle) awry
Hang-ups have gone awry (ah poor kid, ah well-ah)
Hang- ups (have gone) have gone (Riddle) awry
Tommy, don't terrify

This Riddle fellow
Said, "Don't follow me!
Just a-send me toward Diagon,
Doing my own shopping spree."

Hang-ups you have, Tom Riddle
Hang ups out the wazoo (ah-uh-eye)
Hang-ups you have, Tom Riddle
And now you're You-Know-Who (ah well now guy)

Hang-ups you have, Tom Riddle
Hang-ups that made you sly (tough luck ah well uh)
Hang-ups you have, Tom Riddle
You'll be hung out to dry
You'll be hung out to dry
You'll be hung out to dry
You'll be hung out to----dry
