SNEAQUE ALLEY

(kind of goes along with Diagon and Knocturn Alley,
don't you think?)

To the tune of Creeque Alley by the Mamas and the Papas. (Yes, you do
know that song, it starts with "John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of
itchy ...") Here is a midi (in an impossible key, but that's what
there was)
http://www.wtv-zone.com/REMEMBERTHEN/midis10/creequealley.mid So, get
out your love beads and join in:

Young Tom Riddle was sittin' in the middle
Of his playmates but he never would play
When a caller, like Santa Claus, but taller
Came to Mrs. Coles's one day.
The man made amazing claims,
And after that the wardrobe burst into flames.
Marvolo and Morfin won't accept an orphan
And Merope couldn't take it no more.
And no one's gettin' wise except Voldemort.

Dumble said "Tommy, it's a shame about your mommy
But she left a gift of magic in you. Let's go now."
Tommy said, "No, sir. I'll walk it since I'm closer.
I can handle it anyhow."
Then I'll see you at the sorting in September (at Hogwarts)
But left with a warning Tommy would remember.
Marvolo and Morfin disavowed the orphan
And a few things concerned Dumbledore.
But no one's gettin' wise except Voldemort.

When Tommy was a schoolboy, never broke a rule boy
And afterward he talked to a snake.
Found his mother's locket, nicked it like a rocket,
And hid it in a boobytrapped lake.
When Tommy asked Slug about a Horcrux
He learned you need to murder if you want a redux.
Marvolo and Morfin didn't know the orphan 
But kept snakeskins nailed to the door.
And no one's gettin' wise except Voldemort.

Woodchucks, beernuts, chipmunks, fishguts---
Pick a word that's easy to say.
Horcrux, Schmorcrux. What could there be more nuts?
Guess it had to be that way.
Hepzibah Smith set a love trap;
Tom took the cup, the elf took the death rap
Marvolo and Morfin finally met the orphan
But they wouldn't miss him no more.
And everybody's gettin' wise except Voldemort.
(Di-di-di-dit dit dit di-di-di-dit, who-o-oa)

Fiery diary kept for an inquiry
Waiting there for someone to see
Memories for ages kept between the pages
That Ginny found eventually.
Splittin' souls is getting sort of chancy
Work for Burke, but don't do nothing fancy.
Hepzibah and Hokey thought Tom was okey dokey;
It can go on indefinitely.
And Tom's immortal schemin' is becomin' a reality...
