A long, long time ago
I can still remember how James used to make Lily smile
And I knew if we had that chance
we could make that redhead laugh
and we'd all be friends for a while
But all those ghosts made us shiver
As owls the papers delievred
Bad news on the doorstep
Voldy takes another step
I remember that I cried
When I heard that the Potters died
And it touched me deep inside
The day the Marauders died.
So bye, bye, James and Lily, goodbye
Drove my cycle to the scene but it seemed like a dream
and Moony and Me were drinking Firewhiskey and rye
Singin: "This was the day the Maruaders died,
This was the day the marauders died."
Well Harry's stuck here alone
while Voldy flees from a dark throne
cause that curse cut him through.
He's reduced to naught but dust
But I know that soon I must
leave cause it's me they don't trust
But I didn't do it, I was crushed
and Arabella, dance with me
cause I know that soon it'll be
Azkaban, the end of me
I wanted to take Harry to my home but
Hagrid took him, I was left alone
And I knew I had to flee
but there was nowhere left to be
the day the Marauders died.
So bye, bye, James and Lily, goodbye
Drove my cycle to the scene but it seemed like a dream
and Moony and Me were drinking Firewhiskey and rye
Singin: "This was the day the Maruaders died,
This was the day the marauders died."
Now fourteen years, I've been all alone
Moony's gone, I'm naught but bones
But that's not how it used to be
When Moony sang for the school that night
James and Me gave him quite a fright
In a coat that belonged to Peeves
Oh, and while Dumbledore was lookin' down
The Marauders really went to town
McGonagall was unnerved
No dententions were returned
And while Lily smiled, gave us a mark
The Slytherins fought together in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the Marauders died
So bye, bye, James and Lily, goodbye
Drove my cycle to the scene but it seemed like a dream
and Moony and Me were drinking Firewhiskey and rye
Singin: "This was the day the Maruaders died,
This was the day the marauders died."
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The brooms flew out of the Gryffindor shelter
Ten miles high we flew so fasssssttttt
Quaffle caught above the grass
Moony tried for a forward pass
With the Slytherins looking like crass
Now the victory air was sweet perfume
While Quidditch cup reflected maroon
We all got up to scream
Oh, everybody on the team!
But the Slytherins tried to take the field
Gryffindors laughed, Hufflepuffs squealed
And James kissed Lily on the field
the day the Marauders died.
So bye, bye, James and Lily, goodbye
Drove my cycle to the scene but it seemed like a dream
and Moony and Me were drinking Firewhiskey and rye
Singin: "This was the day the Maruaders died,
This was the day the marauders died."
Oh, and then we were all in the Tower
All Gryffindors, at every hour
with no time left to reminisce
So come on, James be nimble, James be quick
Gryffindor caught that Snitch
Cause Snape is an ugly git
Oh, and as we watched him in the air
Happiness flew, we were there
No Slytherin born in grease
Could break our happy peace
And as the cheers climbed high into the night
to celebrate out victory over the fight
I saw Lily beaming with delight
The day the Marauders died.
So bye, bye, James and Lily, goodbye
Drove my cycle to the scene but it seemed like a dream
and Moony and Me were drinking Firewhiskey and rye
Singin: "This was the day the Maruaders died,
This was the day the Marauders died."
I met a Metamorphmagus who had pink hair
And she asked me why I was there
But I just smiled and turned away
I went down to Hogwarts school
Where I knew James was still thought cool
But Dumbledore thought I'd betrayed...
And in the halls the first years screamed
the Hufflepuffs cried and Slytherins dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The Secret-Keeper had spoken
And the three I knew were loony
Prongs, Lilkins, and werewolf Moony
They left me stranded with baby Harry
The day the Marauders died.
And I was singin:
So bye, bye, James and Lily, goodbye
Drove my cycle to the scene but it seemed like a dream
and Moony and Me were drinking Firewhiskey and rye
Singin: "This was the day the Maruaders died,
This was the day the marauders died."
So bye, bye, James and Lily, goodbye
Drove my cycle to the scene but it seemed like a dream
and Moony and Me were drinking Firewhiskey and rye
Singin: "This was the day the Maruaders died,
This was the day the marauders died."
