Potterican Pie

by Vally and Velcro

Disowner: The almighty 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

The 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

The 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

The 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

The 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

The 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

The 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

The Death Eaters and He

Were drunk on wolfs bane and ryes

Saying "this'll be the day Harry dies"

velcro'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.
