Potterican Pie
by the P.U.C.E.I.S.

Disowner: The almighty, and recently married (oh, look at that happy couple...) JKR! owns the plot,
characters, magical references, etc... and Don McLean owns the original song, the ever amazing AMERICAN PIE!!!

vally's notes: okay, i know that american pie is such a great song and it is really hard to do a good parody to
it, but i think this works, 'cos it has all those hidden meanings and sticks fairly well to the mood of the
song... ENJOY!

Not so long ago
Many can still remember
How Voldie was mean and vile
There are the ones whose souls shall rot
But there are those who's shall not
And maybe we were fearful for while
But October's winds were bitter
With everyday fate grew nearer
Then Voldie turned up on their doorstep
And so they ne'er took another step
"Please not Harry!" Lily cried
And so they did die, husband and bride
But Harry was marked deep inside
The day the Potters died

So Why, why, did the Potters have to die?
So Hagrid to took the baby to the Dursley's
But the Dursleys said it was lie
Them Death Eaters and He
Were drunk on wolfs bane and ryes
Saying "this'll be the day Harry dies"
"This'll be the day Harry dies"

Do you believe in magic, love?
And did you see the owl fly above?
If you we tell you it is so?
Do you believe in grims and trolls?
And magic save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to curse real slow?
I know that he had the power in him
'Cos I saw him up on the gym
They chased him and he flew
Man, I dig this magic true!
I was a lonely teen in wizarding school
With a prefect badge and ne'er broke a rule
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the Potters died
And I was a singing

So Why, why, did the Potters have to die?
So Hagrid to took the baby to the Dursley's
But the Dursleys said it was lie
Them Death Eaters and He
Were drunk on wolfs bane and ryes
Saying "this'll be the day Harry dies"
"This'll be the day Harry dies"

For many years now Harry's been on his own
And moss grows fat on their gravestone
But that's not how it use to be…
When Padfoot joked with the King and Queen
In a house the hid them from all pain
And while Prongs was looking the other way
Pettigrew sold their lives away
The classrooms where adjured
No student did return
And while Voldie read a book on Dark
They played Quidditch in the park
And we sang dugdes in the dark
The day the Potters died
And we were a singing

So Why, why, did the Potters have to die?
So Hagrid to took the baby to the Dursley's
But the Dursleys said it was lie
Them Death Eaters and He
Were drunk on wolfs bane and ryes
Saying "this'll be the day Harry dies"
"This'll be the day Harry dies"

Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The champion are left without a shelter
Many miles away and they'll be coming fast
As they ran the maze out on the grass
Victor tried to make it past
But the winner had already been cast
So the Champion's cup stood in all glory
As they debated who's it should be
We all got up to cheer
Oh! But then the joy changed to tear.
As the winners tried to fight the dark
One of the player's time was cut short
Do you recall what was the deal?
The day the Potters died
And we were a singing

So Why, why, did the Potters have to die?
So Hagrid to took the baby to the Dursley's
But the Dursleys said it was lie
Them Death Eaters and He
Were drunk on wolfs bane and ryes
Saying "this'll be the day Harry dies"
"This'll be the day Harry dies"

There they were all in one place
Black robes, not daring to show their face
So come on Harry be nimble
Harry be quick
Harry get yourself out of this stick
Since death is Voldie's only friend
And there Padfoot stood on the stage
His hands were clamped in fists of rage
Only a Rat born in Hell
Could break that scarred spell
As the screams were flying high into the night,
I saw Voldie laughing with delight,
The day the Potters died
And he was a singing

So Why, why, did the Potters have to die?
So Hagrid to took the baby to the Dursley's
But the Dursleys said it was lie
Them Death Eaters and He
Were drunk on wolfs bane and ryes
Saying "this'll be the day Harry dies"
"This'll be the day Harry dies"

I met a girl who knew all one could know
And I asked her for her powers to show
But she cried and turned away
And I went down to that house of lore
Where I had heard the laughter years before
But the boys there said they didn't laugh no more
And in the streets
The Muggles screamed
The werewolves howled
And the wizards dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The people's hopes all were broken
And the three men I admired the most
Sirius, Lupin and James's ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the Potters died
And they were a singing

So Why, why, did the Potters have to die?
So Hagrid to took the baby to the Dursley's
But the Dursleys said it was lie
Them Death Eaters and He
Were drunk on wolfs bane and ryes
Saying "this'll be the day Harry dies"
"This'll be the day Harry dies"

So Why, why, did the Potters have to die?
So Hagrid to took the baby to the Dursley's
But the Dursleys said it was lie
Them Death Eaters and He
Were drunk on wolfs bane and ryes
Saying "this'll be the day Harry dies"

bugzy's notes: Harry did take another step! And how could Harry be marked deep inside when his scare was on his forehead?
AND i disagree with the Rat! The Rat is Cool! I don't admire Sirius, Lupin, or James ghoast. That was all vally... Not all the Potters died, and when they took the train to the coast, which coast where they heading for? There are alot of coasts. I'd like to know which coast!

vally: Pacific.
