FILK: Change 'Em To Rock

[Caius Marcius]

Here's my first 2006 HP Xmas filk - and if you post a new Xmas filk
here between now and Dec. 25., I will immediately upload it to the
Very Harry Christmas page.

I looked around for an Xmas carol that hadn't been filked yet, and
came up with this:

Change `Em to Rock

to the tune of Jingle Bell Rock

A You-Tube performance – ignore the visual! – here:

THE SCENE: Hogwarts' plumbing. THE BASILISK takes a page from Mary
Poppins' robin ("He knows a song/Will move the job along"), and sings
a merry tune to itself as it goes about its sinister doings
..

BASILISK:
Change `em all, change `em all, change `em to rock
How they will shine when adamantine
Smelling and yelling for rivers of blood
For the Chamber op'd with a thud!

Give em a, give `em a, give `em a shock
Basilisk eyes will cats paralyze
Scaring and tearing in the Entrance Hall
Making flesh to crawl.

What a dark time, it's a stark crime
To knock off Headless Nick
Turned into smoke, he will soon croak
As will Justin and that Granger chick
Giddy-up basilisk, death we will eat
Riddle will not be mocked
Hiss and a-slither to a Slytherin beat

As I change `em to
As I change `em to
As I change `em to rock!
