"I'll Second-Guess that Potion" to the tune of "I Second that 
Emotion" by Smokey Robinson. 
  
To Potioncat, who would probably make some interesting potions 
herself.


Sev Snape, sixth year potions student, is doing his homework for 
Slughorn.  Seeing room for improvements, he makes a few adjustments, 
scribbling them in the margins of his book.
He sings:


Maybe you want to add some parrot's feet.
That ingred'ent's one I will delete.
Maybe you think you need a dash of gall,
But a skosh of monkey tears will do it all.

(chorus)
Oh, oh, This book has simply got no heart.
'Cuz potion-making is an art.
Oh, but I think I have what it takes,
To set this thing in motion.
I'll second-guess that potion.
Yeah, I won't blindly follow with
Lobotomized devotion.
I'll second-guess that potion.
 
I see my first batch of Felix turned out brown.
It should have been clear; that made me frown.
If I throw in a parsnip as it cools,
It turns out fine, so I say "screw the rules".

(chorus)

repeat verses and chorus- fade out last chorus.
