1.1 Verse 1
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me.
(I think it was Uncle Vernon.)
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.
(The cupboard maybe.)
2 She was lookin kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb,
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead.
(It was Hermoine in Prof. Binn's class, hehehe.)
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming.
(Before I know it, the year's over, and it's back to the Dursleys.)
Head to the rules and I hit the ground running.
(Running to the Quidditch field to kick some Slytherin ass.)
Didn't make sense not to live for fun,
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb.
(Somebody tell that to Hermoine.)
So much to do so much to see.
So what's wrong with takin the backstreets?
(Behind the witch's hump, password dissendium.)
You'll never know if you don't go.
(GO!)
You'll never shine if you don't glow.
(GLOW!)
2.1 Chorus
Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play.
(Game? Quidditch! Oh Yeah!)
Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,
(Paid, as in money, maybe I can give some to Ron.)
And all that glitter is gold.
Only shootin stars break the mold.
(I'm a shootin star, I'm seeker!)
Verse 2
It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder.
(Must be where Durmstrang is.)
You're bundled up now, wait till you get older.
(Older like a sixth year, or older like a seventh year?)
But the media men beg to differ.
(Not Rita Skeeter I hope.)
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture.
(Cable TV at Hogwarts?)
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin.
(Then maybe we shouldn't skate.)
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim.
(Only if the giant squid's gone.)
3 My world's on fire, how about yours?
(There isn't any wood! Honestly, are you a witch or not?)
Coz that's the way I like it and I never get bored.
(Check mate! Oh, sorry. Wrong kind of board.)
Chorus
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas.
(Brooms don't need gas!)
I need to get myself away from this place.
(Find a Portkey!)
I said yep, what a concept, I use a little fuel myself.
(For the second time, BROOMS DON'T NEED GAS!)
And we could all use a little change.
(Change? Yeah! Let's all be animagi!)
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming.
(Before I know it, the year's over, and it's, Hey! Wait a minuet!)
Head to the rules and I hit the ground running.
(Didn't we do this part already?)
Didn't make sense not to live for fun,
Your brain gets smart but your heard gets dumb.
(Now I know we did this already!)
So much to do so much to see.
So what's wrong with takin the backstreets?
(Oh well.)
You'll never know if you don't go.
(GO!)
You'll never shine if you don't glow.
(GLOW!)
