Welcome to all the newbies!  Around here we sometimes get creative 
and rewrite lyrics of songs.  If you see "Filk" in the subject line, 
you've found one!  

The ones you'll find here, plus a whole lot of others from other 
sources can be found here:

Harry Potter Filks is a wonderful site to lose yourself in for a few 
hours if that is your cup of tea.  It is run by our own CMC, to whom 
I dedicate this little tune.

"I Love My Mum" to the tune of "I Love this Bar" by Toby Keith.

Somewhere in the depths of Romania, Norbert sits with his dragon 
buddies, each remembering the day he was hatched.  Although Norbert 
realized that his Mum is a bit different than the scaly females who 
hatched his pals, he still has a soft spot in his heart for his Mummy.

He sings:

He likes monsters.  He likes dragons.
Drinks his mead by the flagons.
Yeah, he likes spiders, big and scary.
Likes a kid name of Harry.
He's big and wide and some say he's real dumb.
Hmm, mmm, mmm, I love my Mum.

Yeah, he gave me my first Teddy.
Rocked me to sleep in my beddy.
Gave me dead rats, and good chew toys,
Although some tasted like school boys.
He said, "Don't nip at the redhead, he's my chum."
Hmm, mmm, mmm, I love my Mum.

I love my Mum.
It's no disgrace.
I get a tear remembering
His big ol' honest face.
I get lonesome for where I'm from.
Hmm, mmm, mmm, I love my Mum.

It don't matter if you're a leaper,
Runner, crawler or creeper.
If in the Forest, you're a-livin'
Love and protection he'll be givin'.
In my eyes, he's a bigger hero than Vic Krum.
Hmm, mmm, mmm, I love my Mum.

I liked his hut. (I LIKED that hut!)
I liked his three friends. ('Specially the redhead)
I liked the way he fed me dinner.
I liked the drinking at the end.

But I love my Mum.
That big, honest face.
Even though we're seperated 
By lots and lots of space.
I know where I'm from; when I get glum...
Hmm, mmm, mmm, I love my Mum.
Hmm, mmm, mmm, I love my Mum.

Now I've got friends here of my own kind.
I've got a lil Swedish Short-Snout on my mind.
We've got food here for the eatin'
And internal combustion central heatin'.
I'd send an invitation if I thought he'd come.
Hmm, mmm, mmm, I love my Mum.
