PLEASE HELP ME GET OUT (to the tune of We Can Work It Out by The Beatles)
SCENE: Prof. Flitwick's classroom, late at night. Sirius Black is trying to get Professor Dumbledore to believe his crazy story.
Try to see it my way,
I will have to keep on running if I can go on.
If you have your way,
Have the guilt of knowing that my soul may soon be gone!
Murder soon will out,
Murder soon will out.
Rethink what you're saying,
The Ministry has got it wrong — the rat's all right,
That is what I'm saying,
Pettigrew's alive! I didn't get a chance to fight.
Pettigrew's the lout!
Pettigrew's the lout!
Life is very short and there's no time
For prison and killing my friends!
I have not committed any crime,
So I will ask you once again,
Try to see it my way,
Only Peter proves if I am right or I am wrong.
But you see, with your way,
Any proof that he can give will be moot before long.
You can work it out!
You can work it out!
Life is very short and there's no time
For prison and killing my friends!
I have not committed any crime,
So I will ask you once again,
Please send me on my way,
Remus and Harry know I am right and Fudge was wrong!
Oh, don't send me away,
The time I spent in Azkaban was far too long!
Please help me get out.
Please help me get out.
